Powell's Books

From Emmy Award-winning actress Finola Hughes, a scathingly funny novel that catapults readers into a soap opera.

Finola Hughes brings her intimate knowledge of soap operas- she starred as Anna Devane on "General Hospital" and Alexandra and Anna on "All My Children"--to the page in this scathingly funny novel that catapults readers into the world of daytime drama.

When British actress Kate McPhee needs a life change, moving to Los Angeles to join the cast of "Live For Tomorrow" is the answer. Like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, though, she seems plunged into a surreal world guided by nonsensical rules and populated with outlandish characters. Her so-thin-they're-barely- there co-stars seem to speak their own language and though reigning diva Meredith Contini welcomes Kate to the set, her claws are soon unsheathed when Kate's popularity increases.

As Kate battles on-set politics, her off camera life unravels. She forgets to feed the cat and is late to every important date. But she's really in trouble when she begins to fantasize about her best friend's hunky husband. The line between soap opera and real life blurs as Kate tries to hold onto what is true.
