Violet on the runway

by Melissa Walker

A wallflower in the spotlight can do one of two things: wilt, or blossom...Violet Greenfield's life changes forever when a lady in giant Chanel shades tells her she could be IT, the next Kate Moss-but taller, and without the PR problems. That's how Violet winds up with a business card in the front pocket of her jeans on her first day as a senior in high school. Angela Blythe from Tryst Models in New York City wants to put Violet on a plane and whisk her into the world of high-heeled boots and oversized sunglasses. Tall, skinny Violet, who's been P-L-A-I-N practically forever.And guess what? She's going.Look out for Violet by Design, coming in March 2008 from Berkley Jam.
