After seeing her in concert, Amanda Ray (16) loves all things Kendra
Star! Like Kendra, Amanda is determined to get a record deal. However,
an altercation with a neighbor over her notebook
lands her in the Albany Detention Center.
Still feeling a connection to Kendra Star and taking the advice of her
counselor, Amanda takes a break from writing rhymes to write Kendra. Weeks
pass and not only doesn’t Amanda receive mail from Kendra Star, she doesn’t
receive a single letter from anyone; disappointment sets in. Amanda’s
behavior, like her high hopes of getting a letter from Kendra, starts
spiraling downwards fast! Amanda spends more time in trouble than
writing in her notebook. Eventually, Kendra writes back. In the letters
Amanda finds out that she and Kendra are two of a kind.
However, more importantly, Kendra Star encourages Amanda to look within
herself for strength and energy. |
