Miss Debutante

For 14-year-old, tomboyish Jayden Burne, pageants and debutante balls have always been an excuse to laugh. It's always been breaking an arm during soccer practice or getting a bruise at the skate park. Never, did she expect her life to go from that to face masks and nutrition facts on a daily. But when her grandmother suddenly arrives to enter her into the upcoming local pageant event, her life becomes just that. And yes, one pageant or two wouldn't hurt. But with an old woman you barely know breathing down your neck, there's obviously more to come. And with every push and shove to strive for perfection and meet the bar of modern beauty forced by her grandmother, there's another piece of the puzzle of dark secrets that have been meticulously concealed in a web lies that is revealed. Jayden knows. At least she will. She knows it's not just the dress fitting that's running behind that's infuriating her grandmother. She knows that what she's about to fall into will become a source of debt. The question is, do you?
