Publisher's Synopsis
Amelia 'Mia' Momani was the unwanted child - stupid, lazy, ugly, and unable to live up to the perfection who is her older sister. At Eastbourne School, she was a pariah - 'stinkin' Mia Momani' and the ugliest girl in the seventh grade. ...but no one ends as they started, and fifteen years later, 'stinkin' Mia Momani' has grown up, and not just 'a girl grown tall'. Mia returns to her native Jamaica to attend her High School reunion and finds she still has an army of giants to slay - her classmates, her sister, her parents, her high school crush (and tormentor in chief), and most importantly, her own insecurities, before she can truly say she has turned out. Set in Jamaica, Turning Out is told in the present day, and interspersed with flashbacks to Mia's tumultuous past. A Cinderella story with a Caribbean flavor, Turning Out highlights how circumstances can change with the help of a very good friend.
