Latoya Lami joins a new school and throws herself right into student leadership, taking to it the way a duck takes to water. To the whole world, she is strong in every way and forceful by nature. Deep inside her, she is insecure and hurting though, mostly because of her physical looks. Her forceful appearance just serves to hide that. All around her, at school and home, everyone is fighting personal battles she knows nothing about. To some she is the obstacle in their way and to others she is the means to prove a point. In the end she takes a path she had never thought of taking and emerges victorious, beating out a path that had never been trodden before...while another student Libby is not as lucky and loses her personal war
