Model, Incorporated (Avon)

Supermodel Carol Alt brings the inside world of high-end fashion modeling into dazzling focus--with a fabulous novel about what it takes to get to the top...and stay there.

But Melody Ann is gone...in her place is "Mac" and with her looks, brains, and drive, she may well be on the brink of becoming America's top model. Suddenly Mac's seeing her name in the tabloids, being wooed by billionaire businessmen...and sharing intimate late-night dinners with movie stars. And she's discovering that the supermodel life isn't all fluff and glamour. It's long hours, hard work, and even harder choices--like choosing to starve or to never work again.

But does Mac have what it takes to be super? Because deep down--behind the perfect body and million-dollar smile--she's still the same hometown Melody Ann she's always been....
