Mia

Mia's tough. A fighter. She's been fighting her entire life. When she was a child, she fought her older sister---Debra. Later she fought Joyce, her mama. Now, most days, she has to fight the feelings of self-loathing and doubt that accompany her through the halls of John L. LeFlore.

A year ago, at Phillips Prep, Mia was part of the "in crowd," mostly because she had been friends with Chandra Thomas since elementary. But things are changing, and Mia is slowly falling out of Chandra's good graces.

But high school is the least of her problems. The fights at home---and in her mind---are becoming more vicious. More frequent. More predatory. Mia's tough. But does she have one more fight in her?
