There are several elements of truth in this story and Bertha
Fights Back will grow on you as it gains momentum. What begins as a
narration of the cruelties inflicted upon an overweight teenager by her cousin,
Penelope Mia, quickly changes into a statement of our modern society.
Unfortunately, this is a time in which teenagers somehow manage to
threaten teachers and school officials with guns and knives, where fellow
students are held hostage by the whims of a few overeager street toughs and
