Ten percent of all teenagers are affected by scoliosis of the spine.
Written by a debut author who wore a brace of her own, Braced is the inspiring, heartfelt story of a girl learning to manage the many curves life throws her way..
But as Rachel confronts all the challenges the brace presents, the biggest change of all may lie in how she sees herself.
It changes how her clothes fit, how she kicks a ball, and how everyone sees her -- even her friends and Tate.
The brace wraps her in hard plastic from shoulder blades to hips.
Then the doctor delivers some terrible news: The sideways curve in Rachel\'s spine has gotten worse, and she needs to wear a back brace 23 hours a day.

And she really likes Tate, and she\'s pretty sure he likes her back.
Her best friends make everything fun.
She\'s finally earned a place as a forward on her soccer team.
Rachel Brooks is excited for the new school year.
