Publisher's Synopsis
Trish, badly bruised by life, is catapulted into the world of celebrity author, Amanda Turner. Her marriage on the rocks, no job, and at odds with her teenage daughters, Trish vows to reinvent herself. 'Like Madonna,' she tells her teens. 'Only as a writer'. Naively, she pins her hopes on arrogant Amanda to nurture her, and weekly classes begin at Amanda's gloomy house in the woods. Trish takes an instant dislike to Amanda's strapping young handyman, Pavel. Her suspicions grow, as an air of foreboding - as well as a nasty smell - hang over the house. When Amanda vanishes, it's left to Trish to mount a rescue. Is she woman enough for the job? Will she ever write that bestseller?
