Zoe Rose never quite fit in.
As the only kid in kindergarten with an enormous red afro, Zoe
was taunted by the other little girls for refusing to share her
"Annie" wig, even when she swore it was her own hair (it was).
In second grade, after seeing her best friend ridiculed for
wearing a dirty, pink, polka-dot party dress to school every day,
she became obsessed with understanding what makes "normal" girls
tick and why they're so cruel to the girls who never seem to "get
it."
And so Zoe begins a lifelong study of girl behavior, and by
thirty, finds herself editor of "Issues" magazine. Determined to
raid the locker room of the female psyche and rip open the frilly
facade of femininity once and for all, she sets out to reform an
entire nation of women, beginning with the readers of the most
notorious magazine on Madison Avenue.
It's the feminist vs. the fashionistas.
Can Zoe stop girls from behaving badly toward other girls, and
turn them into a strong, united force that can succeed in our
male-dominated world? Or will her spectacularly warped sense of
humor, pathetic wardrobe, and plethora of psychosomatic illnesses
get her eaten alive?
Zoe's willing to risk losing it all, including her mind, but
she'll walk away with something she never dreamed she wanted: the
little girl hiding inside of her.
