How Maya got fierce
(Book)

"She may be a California farm girl, but seventeen-year-old Maya's vision board is all about Fashion and Fierce--the New York City women's magazine she's been reading since she was ten. As the oldest daughter of Punjabi garlic farmers, though, Maya's path is set, and it's off to Cow camp for the summer. When she lands in the New York City area, Maya learns that her cousin's girlfriend works at Fierce--and realizes that her wildest dreams may just be in reach. She scores a coveted internship interview and gets an offer. But accepting the position means secretly quitting Cow camp and rejecting her parents' plans for her. One other (major) glitch: Maya's bosses at Fierce, thinking she's twenty-six, hire her as the assistant editor, not an intern. Oops. May is well on the way to making her dreams come true, even if the glam life at Fierce isn't quite as shiny and fun as she had hoped. When she suggest the perfect candidate for a big story--and manages to get the scoop--all eyes are on her. How long can Maya keep her real age from her boss ... and her real life from her parents?"--Provided by publisher.
