Deirdre Griffin has a great life; it's just not her own.
She's the round-the-clock personal assistant to her
charismatic, high-maintenance, New Age guru brother, Tag. As
the family wallflower, her only worth seems to be as
gatekeeper to Tag at his New England seaside compound. Then
Deirdre's sometime-boyfriend informs her that he is marrying
another woman, who just happens to be having the baby he
told Deirdre he never wanted. While drowning her sorrows
with Tag's vodka, Deirdre comes up with an idea. She'll use
his massive online following to get herself voted on as a
last-minute replacement on "Dancing with the Stars." It'll
get her back in shape, mentally and physically. It might
even get her a life of her own. Deirdre Griffin's fifteen
minutes of fame has begun. Irresistible, offbeat, yet with a
thoroughly relatable and appealing heroine, this is an
original and deeply satisfying story of one woman who's
ready to take a leap into the spotlight, no matter where she
lands.
