By Any Other Name

Kate Merrick's goal is to be the most popular girl in high school. Already part of the "in" crowd and one of only four freshman accepted into drama club, she is well on her way to achieving this dream. Only one obstacle stands in her way. Rose Coughlin. The girl no one wants around. The girl who shuffles; never looks anyone in the eye. The girl who smells. When the unthinkable happens and Kate is paired with Rose on a class project, her world falls apart. Shunned by her friends, Kate is desperate for a way out of this dilemma. So, no one is more surprised than she when a simple act of kindness changes her life forever.
