SummaryWho knew the truth would make such great fiction?
Once upon a time four aspiring authors met at a writers'
conference. Ten years later they're still friends, veterans
of the dog-eat-dog New York publishing world.
Mallory St. James is a workaholic whose novels support her
and her husband's lavish lifestyle. Tanya Mason juggles two
jobs, two kids, and a difficult mother. Faye Truett is the
wife of a famous televangelist and the author of bestselling
inspirational romances; no one would ever guess her
explosive secret. Kendall Aims's once-promising career is on
the skids—as is her marriage. Her sales have fallen,
her new editor can barely feign interest in her
work—and her husband is cheating.
Under pressure to meet her next deadline, Kendall holes up
in a mountain cabin to confront a blank page and a blanker
future. But her friends won't let her face this struggle
alone. They collaborate on a novel none of them could write
by herself, using their own lives as fodder, assuming no one
will discover the truth behind their words.
No one is more surprised than they are when the book becomes
a runaway bestseller. But with success comes scrutiny and
scandal. Now all bets are off....as these four best friends
suddenly realize how little they've truly known each other.
