As this novel begins, Leigh can think of a million ways she'd rather spend her summer besides visiting her movie-star mother, Annika. But her father, insisting that the two of them need some "mother/daughter bonding time," packs 15-year-old Leigh off to Ireland, where she'll be her mom's personal assistant on the set of her latest film.
Soon, however, Leigh herself is offered a part in the movie—and eventually she and Annika are sharing scenes, scripts, and even the spotlight. With tensions rising on the set, Annika and Leigh must finally grow into their most demanding roles: mother and daughter.
Praise
"In this novel, Leigh discovers her mother, gorgeous Irishmen, and a possible acting career during one great summer. Fantasy film scripts collide with reality as she tries to work it all out. This is top-pace entertainment!"—
