THE SECRET
Never fall in love with a woman who sells herself; it only ends badly.
A modern day fairytale, complete
with evil stepmother and half-siblings, is not what nineteen-year-old Lydia
wants. Unlike in those fairytales Lydia
doesn’t have a fairy godmother, just a boss named Lester that controls her by
telling her that she is only worth what a man will pay. She only wants her father to love her, but
she can’t love herself. Lydia dances and
sells her body for money, but keeps it a secret from everyone. When she falls for a boy named Zach, that has
a secret of his own, she discovers that love can’t have secrets, but she’s
afraid. Zach deserves to know the truth
and she desires to be free. But before
Lydia can be free of her lifestyle, a client takes it too far and could take
her life. But there’s more than one
secret that can’t be hidden. It will
change everything, for better or worse.
“The Secret” is a story about
finding strength in yourself, discovering faith in God, and that secrets can
only harm those that you love.

What do you think? :) I wouldn't use it as a pitch for agents, but it is a start.
I also wanted to share with you a picture of the quilt I'm working on. I finished the front today! All that is left is to put on a back. :)
Hope you are having a great hump day!
That is where I always stall on quilts...the backs! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBacks are definitely the hardest parts! Thanks! :)
DeleteLove the colors on this quilt! Very spring-y!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dawn! :) It's a gift for a friend.
DeleteThat is a great and colorful quilt! I love patches.
ReplyDeleteI like patches too. :) Thanks Christine!
DeleteI really want to read that book now!! x
ReplyDeleteWe could probably arrange that... :)
DeleteIt sounds wonderful. I would read it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I did get your email, I'll try to email you back on Sunday!
DeleteThat is a great start for a summary!
ReplyDeleteA teeny suggestion? Yes, no? I would change "that" to "who" in the following sentences:
"boss named Lester that"
"boy named Zach, that"
Lovely quilt! I always think it's amazing how quilters get all those squares perfectly, exactly lined up :-)
Thank you Rachel! :) I did use your suggestions. :)
DeleteAh, but you have to look closely... they aren't perfectly lined up but the patterns merge in your mind's eye so it doesn't matter. :) Sneaky. :) Thanks!
Your book sounds like it has tons of potential!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that quilt! Quilting is fun, but I usually only manage to finish a quilt when I'm on a deadline because it's a gift. Otherwise, I end up with all my quilt pieces sitting in an attic or a closet. ;)
Thanks Laura! :)
DeleteI have that problem too - another quilt is sitting in my craft drawer untouched. This one is a gift, so that is why I'm getting it done. :)
like your idea--and your lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn! :)
DeleteI like your idea--and your quilt is really pretty. I've always wanted to learn how to quilt, but I can't even sew. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana! :) I taught myself how to sew and it's actually not that hard once you learn. :)
