Broken Crayons Natalie Woods Leffall

Broken crayons may still color, but they don't always produce the prettiest pictures. When you grow up feeling invisible, you'll do anything to let the world know you exist. Chelsea's childhood was filled with inadequacies of not being good enough, pretty enough, smart enough. She was the not so cute little girl in kindergarten who was always left with broken crayons because all the good ones were taken. Hiding the secrets of her past, Chelsea graduates from high school and heads off to college on a relentless campaign to create a new image for herself that would thrust her out of the shadows and into the spotlight. Brandie is Chelsea's roommate, and loyal best friend who has no clue of just how far her BFF will go to maintain her shine and block Brandie's blessings. Chelsea meets Jordan, a popular piece of eye candy all the girls on campus want to taste. She devises the perfect plan to get her man. Although ill obtained, Chelsea finally has it all! A successful husband, luxury car, expensive high-rise apartment ... until it is all threatened by her wicked mother-in-law who comes to uncover the truth of her past and reveal Chelsea's evil ways. Maneuvering through a web of lies and deceit, Chelsea vows to never again be forced to color the pages of her life with broken crayons.
