BOOK SYNOPSIS
As a young and aspiring writer, Hope Williams has always dreamed of finding her mark in book publishing. Struggling to make ends meet in New York City, she works as a freelance writer, sometimes ghostwriting for others. But when she meets the handsome and charming Hollywood star, Richard Collins, her entire world is turned upside down.
As Richard and Hope begin a whirlwind romance, Hope finds herself whisked away from her modest life and into the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown. Suddenly, she's being wined and dined at the most glamorous cities in the world, and her writing career takes off in ways she never could have imagined.
But for every high, there is a low, and as Hope becomes more entangled in Richard’s world, she realizes that the price of fame and fortune is higher than she ever anticipated. When their relationship ends abruptly, Hope is left feeling lost and alone in a world that once felt so familiar.
As she struggles to pick up the pieces and find her footing again, Hope discovers that sometimes the greatest stories can be found in the darkest moments. Hope’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most incredible journey we can take is the one within ourselves.
A STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, AND SELF-DISCOVERY.
