Teen Ivey Quitzel tells it like it is. Although sometimes painful to relive the truth, the Middle School/High School years are filled with so many ups and downs that putting them on paper allows others to know they are not alone in what they have been through. Ivey wrote these books as her own personal way to deal with the different issues and situations of every day life and they have helped her achieve her goals as well as relevaluate her failures into a more positive outcome. "Everyone has a story to tell and everyone deserves a chance to be heard."
