Veronica's mother is black, and her father is white, but she looks entirely white, not biracial. People at school start making a big deal about it, but nobody cared before she got to eighth grade. Why do they think it's their business? Her world is changed forever. But how does she find herself in everybody else's confusion? In all the chaos?
Even Veronica's best friend, Katie, who's white, acts weird sometimes, like when a black girl from school comes to the house to get her hair cut by Katie's mom.
"I didn't know my mom cut black people's hair," Katie said.
This same black girl wanted Veronica to join her friends at lunch when she learned Veronica was black. Veronica wonders why this girl had never spoken to her before. Was it just because she's black that she wanted to be her friend now? And why had she called Katie a white-ass and huffed away when Veronica invited her to sit with them.
Even the black girls in cooking class question Veronica's knowledge of greens and chitlins.
"Greens is black folk's food," they tell her.
Is this her new life: explaining her racial background to everybody, black and white, including this boy who likes her. The first boy to like her.
She doesn't know what to say when he repeats some racist things his dad told him. Is he a racist, too? Will he feel differently about her when she tells him the truth, which she has to do sooner than later!

When Veronica tells her boyfriend she's black, he laughs, pinches her cheek and says, "But, you're so white." Is she too sensitive, like he says?
 Another boy starts paying attention to her. He's mixed, too. Should she drop the boy who might have a problem with her for the other guy, who may know what it's like to live in two worlds?

Veronica Talks to Boys

Are you living your most authentic life? Or is the real you a secret you keep buried inside? Do you have a brick wall of bad habits, a negative mindset, fear, distractions, unfulfilling work, and problematic relationships are blocking you from showing the real YOU to the world?
Do you feel like your life is whizzing by... and your dreams remain at a standstill, trapped somewhere between who you are and who you want to be?
What if you could blast past your blocks - and step into your best Life?
What if you could take 20 minutes a day to find the words that inspire action to be and going for everything you want?
Take our 28-Day PowerJournal Challenge and we'll show you how!
PowerJournal sounds like a noun, but it's a verb.
PowerJournal is all about taking action on the ideas and insights that you discover as you journey within yourself to unleash your infinite power to manifest your heart's greatest desires.
The PowerJournal technique uses four tools that enable you to open a clear channel to your Highest Self, which knows the truth about who you are, what you want, and how you can get it.
The Tools are: 
- Intention
- Meditation
- Intuitive Writing
- Journaling
The PowerJournal process enables you to <ul>
<li>boost your confidence;</li> <li>attract romance, adventure, and love;</li> <li>create a business;</li> <li>get healthier, feel better, and look better;</li> <li>heal after a break-up or divorce;</li> <li>relieve anxiety;</li> <li>strengthen your intuition and spirituality;</li> <li>find the courage to speak up, speak out, live louder, express your truth, and create a lifestyle according to You, not the world's expectations or traditions....</li> </ul>
You can do all of this within a safe community of like-minded indviduals sharing inspiration and wisdom. For the next four weeks, we'll guide you through this simple yet profound process of using daily writing exercises, along with meditation, to explore who you really are, what you want, and how to get it. The act of transcribing your thoughts and bringing them into the physical world in the form of words activates power within yourself and within the universe. This literary alchemy triggers the Law of Attraction to empower you with resources and opportunities to help you become the creator of yourself and of your life. Using the PowerJournal Tools of Intention, Meditation, Intuitive Writing, and Journaling enables you to open a clear channel to your Higher Self, which knows the truth about who you are, what you want, and how you can get it. This knowledge is often trapped deep within us by fear, trauma, expectations set by society and people around us, and the distractions of our noisy, overstimulating world. If you're looking for proof that PowerJournal is life-changing, PowerJournal Creator Elizabeth Ann Atkins used PowerJournal to lose 100 pounds after pregnancy in 1998. Then when she celebrated her weight loss on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the segment that aired showed her journaling in the Harpo Studios, doing the very thing that we're about to teach you! "I practice what we're preaching," Elizabeth says. "When I started combining the power of journaling with meditation, I started to really tap into my power, and find the courage to unleash it. So PowerJournaling enables me to continually evolve into my best Self, living my most desirable Life, as a writer, a mom/sister/daughter, an entrepreneur, a TV host, a friend, and a citizen. PowerJournal is a lifestyle, and we are thrilled to share it with you!" Sharpen your pencils, fire up your laptop, or crack open a notebook. We're about to get to writing... and you will never be the same!
