"The Secret" Summary

I planned on sharing a little bit of my novel, "The Secret" during the A-Z Blogging Challenge, but I chose something else for the letter S that I think is more important.  I'm sitting on my hands, trying to find things to do since I promised to wait another week to touch my new book "Nameless" for revisions.  I decided to write a rough little blurb for my blog.  If you click on the "Novels" tab above, you can find information about all of my books and this one didn't have anything except that it was finished on July 31st, 2011.  I wrote a little mini book summary for you.  So, here it is:

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!
