Fifteen-year-old Maya Stark seems to have it all --- fame, fortune, a Beverly Hills lifestyle and a rock star dad. But looks can be deceiving, and on the inside, Maya is miserable and insecure. Sent to live with her cousin for the summer, Maya is labeled a snob despite her efforts to fit in. Maya’s candid journal entries reveal her struggle with her identity and her faith as she discovers that the key to the real “simple life” lies in giving her heart to God.
