In this gripping tale of redemption, Jacquelin Thomas-Essence best-selling author of Defining Moments (F0305)-portrays the tragic downward spiral of a Hollywood star whose destructive choices threaten her life, and everything else she once held dear.

Although Marin agrees to exchange her celebrity for motherhood, she can't escape the spotlight's seductive song and fame's irresistible lure.
