Review by Brittany Mangus
Thank you again, to Marcia who sent me a signed copy of her book. This is a story of Lauren, an LDS actress who wins an Oscar. She grows up in Salt Lake, a member of the church, and then, right out of high school, heads to Hollywood in search of fame.
The book begins at the point where Lauren has had several failed relationships and two children, but she is having great success as an actress. Lauren doesn't go to church anymore and she ends up re-evaluating her life and she sets goals as to what she would like it to become. Do you have to give up your values to become successful in Hollywood? Can a balance be reached? If you wanted to change, what would happen to you, your friends or your career?
I enjoyed this perspective, and I couldn't help thinking about some of the real LDS actors and actresses and wondering how they feel about all the trappings of Hollywood and being LDS.
