    About this ebook

    What happens when a celebrity stalks a fan?

    Edith Bentley has always enjoyed her reclusive writer's life. When she's asked to write her memoirs - assured an instant success - Edith sees the holes her solitude has left in her life. Her fans seem to be happier, healthier, better. They have dimensions beyond Edith's own, loved ones to care for and care for them, and a fullness Edith soon craves. What has she missed all along, capturing others' emotions so well while feeling so few of her own?

    Carolyn Davis has a full life: full of joys and love, and full of mourning and family tension. She has her two boys to care for, her sisters to worry about, and her mother to tend to. One of her few escapes is her group of avid-reader friends, with whom she meets regularly to discuss their shared passion. When the author they all love, Edith Bentley, announces a contest on their favorite reading forum, each hopes to be chosen. Carolyn might soon regret her desire as a spotlight shines on not only all she has, but also all she's missed.
