It’s not easy being the daughter of Charley, a free spirited mom who travels at will and whim to different movie sets, but someone has to do it and fifteen year old Scotty Dawn is perfect for the roll. During all the drama of the movie life and such, Scotty goes on a journey of self discovery even journaling it on her own blog.

While life on the road allows Scotty the freedom to be and do basically whatever she wants, she seeks roots. Who is she? What does she come from? And who is the man Charley runs from? The more she questions though, the answers aren’t what she expects or really wants.

How can the single mom and the teen daughter find safety and security while a mysterious past follows them everywhere they go???

No surprise that Lisa Samson delivers a YA novel that surpasses all generations. I found Scotty a compelling and very three dimensional teen. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to hug Charley too.  That mom’s got some women issues that need fixing.

The story reads quickly but it’s not fluff. The reader is completely swept along in the journey with Scotty and her mom and the unique Hollywood setting is refreshing. A neat summer read for sure.
