Synopsis:
Fifteen-year-old Angela Fournier is uprooted from her life when her parents divorce. Moving to a lovely coastal town in Texas, Angela, her mother and her younger sister settle into their home in the new city.

Angela enrolls in the Honors Program, makes two best friends easily and shines in her academics. Inspired and taught by her mother the importance of education, tolerance, and kindness, Angela is surprised by the vehemence of a group of popular "mean" girls who have it in for her from the beginning. If that's not enough, the haughty, school principal, Mara Petty, seems to be jealous of Angela and oblivious to the bullying Angela has to endure.

But Angela and her two best friends discover something far more sinister in their school than everyday bullying-evidence of corruption from some powerful people may prove to be more than they bargained for. Will Angela and her friends set an injustice right? What price will they pay for doing so, and who is responsible?
David Bedford's adolescent characters spring to life with his spot-on dialogue and enormously entertaining storyline. Angela will resonate with teens and sends an important social message about fighting injustice, standing up for one's beliefs, and risking all to reveal the truth.

About the author:
David A. Bedford is a faculty member and Spanish instructor at Texas Christian University. Bedford is writing the two sequels to Angela and has published a book of Spanish short stories. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas.
