Synopsis Teenage misfit Bliss Cavendar is stuck in small town Texas and she is sick of her mother's insistence that she participate in teenage beauty pageants. So Bliss finds a hobby all her own--roller derby! At first, she is only looking to rebel against her mother, but after she gets seriously knocked around a few times, her competitive juices start flowing and she pulls out all the stops to show that she belongs on the circuit. First-time author Shauna Cross is writing from experience, as she was a proud member of the Los Angeles Derby Dolls at the time she wrote the novel.
