All her life, Jordi Hemphill was told that she needed to change to
fit in and be accepted. She talked too much, laughed too loud, and
most definitely, indisputably and inexcusably weighed too much. In
fact, she wore her size-20+ clothes without so much as an apology.
She didn't care to fit in. She didn't want to be beautiful.
Instead, she wanted to wear her hair in funky colors, she itched
for tattoos and piercings, and dreamed of a life much bigger than
working at the local Burger Palace for minimum wage. She had been
born with the voice of a superstar, and something inside her told
her it was OK to dream big, even if she had to do it in secret. On
her eighteenth birthday, she takes every last cent she has and buys
a one-way ticket for Los Angeles. She is sure her talent will get
her noticed by those more open-minded to see it. Then and only then
will she show all the naysayers in her hometown that she was a
somebody no matter what they thought. Unfortunately Los Angeles
isn't any more welcoming. Jordi didn't fit into their pop machine
no matter how well she sang. Other pop princess had the "full
package," whereas Jordi still needed to change if she wanted her
dreams to come true. It takes a plus-size TV producer to take a
chance on her, casting her for a reality talent show called
"Fierce," which put attitude and talent far above the traditional
pop star image. Thanks to Giovanni Carnevale, the lead singer of
"Dreaming in Blue" and "Fierce's" rock star judge, Jordi gets a
chance to fight for her place on a national stage. But will America
embrace this alternative diva? Or will they too expect her to
conform in order to be accepted... to be loved? Despite the
acceptance of new friends and supporters, old ghosts continue to
haunt Jordi on her new journey. It will take handsome fellow
contestant, Jace Riga, to finally help expose and exorcise the
demons that drive her self-destruction. "Fierce" continues the
story introduced in the Ginger Voight novel, "Mogul," where Jordi
joins a hodge-podge of other contestants to battle for the
championship that dares every single hopeful to live large, to be
FIERCE. Ginger Voight, the author of the best-selling "Groupie"
series, brings fame once again to the forefront with her new adult
story, "Fierce." The characters you grew to love in the "Groupie"
trilogy and "Love Plus One" are back to help the incomparable Jordi
Hemphill carve a place for her as a pop princess despite the odds
in this coming-of-age Rubenesque romance.
