The show must go on takes on a whole new meaning for one single mom in a witty and emotional novel by the USA Today bestselling author of I Thought You Said This Would Work .
It seems lately that Poppy Lively is invisible to everyone but the IRS.
After her accountant absconded with her life savings, newly bankrupt Poppy is on the verge of losing her home when an old flame, now a hotshot producer, gives her a surprising way out: a job in costumes on a Hollywood film set.
Its a bold move to pack her bags, keep secrets from her daughter, and head to Los Angeles, but Poppys a capable person--how hard can a job in wardrobe be? Its not like she has a choice; her life couldnt get any worse.
Even so, this midwesterner has a lot to learn about the fast and loose world of movie stars, iconic costumes, and back-lot intrigue.
As a single mom, shes rarely had time for watching movies, she doesnt sew, and she doesnt know a thing about dressing the biggest names in the business.
Floundering and overlooked, Poppy has one ally: Allen Carol, an ill-tempered movie star taken with Poppys unfiltered candor and general indifference to stardom.
When Poppy stumbles upon corruption, she relies on everyone underestimating her to discover whos at the center of it, a revelation that shakes her belief in humanity.
What she thought was a way to secure a future for her daughter becomes a spotlight illuminating the facts: Poppy is out of her league among the divas of Tinseltown.
Poppy must decide whether to keep her mouth shut, as shes always done, or with the help of a scruffy dog, show the moviemakers that they need her unglamorous ways, whether the superstars like it or not.
