Welcome again to Book Blurb Friday. If you're a newbie, here's the scoop so you understand what follows. Please click HERE or click the tab under the blog header for details of the Book Blurb Friday meme. This is the shortened, abridged version:
Write a book jacket blurb (150 words or less) so enticing that potential readers would feel compelled to buy the book.Below is this week's "book cover," offered for our creative blurbs by my daughter and aspiring photographer, Christina. My blurb follows.
Moon Star
(150 words)
Brenna James is a country girl who made it big. She’s a multimedia princess with an Oscar, an Emmy, and a platinum album hanging on the wall. Her life is charmed until an automobile accident leaves her famous face so disfigured that even plastic surgery cannot undo the damage.
Hollywood can forgive anything except the loss of beauty.
Unable to continue her entertainment career, Brenna returns home to the little Southern town of Moon Star, Alabama. Here she finds the family and friends she left behind, bitter rivalries that rise again, and old wounds that never quite healed. There are lessons to be learned and atonement to be made; and as Brenna comes to terms with her shattered face and ruined career, it is a love she believed long lost that might just be the miracle that redeems her.
A story of loss, love, and the substance of true beauty.

Lisa-- I LOVE your 1-liner that makes up the 2nd paragraph. Unlike mine, I would like to read YOUR book.
ReplyDeleteNow, Lisa, could you do me a favor? Please? Please delete the first two links. I screwed it up--twice!
ReplyDeleteYou got a great story, something I did not expect from a picture of a moon! Sweet how you used it in the town's name! Great job....
ReplyDeleteThat picture certainly invites tales of introspection doesn't it? And the fame and beauty lost idea a perennial one with endless fascination.
ReplyDeleteYou are my idol. How do you do this week after week? Probably day after day.
ReplyDeleteLisa, this would be such a great book! I bet that there are a lot of jealous folks back home, but probably a real BFF who never left her side, a mother who always believed in her, and a long-lost love who doesn't care what she looks like.
ReplyDeleteChristina's photo is breathtaking.

Would like to read this book! Nicely done, Lisa. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
No, I'm not trying to change your meme to Book Blurb Sunday. :D Just lagging behind.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring photo. Please thank Christina.
This promises to be an emotional, romantic and thought-provoking story. A winner for sure.
I would LOVE to read this.
ReplyDeleteThe blurb is so beautiful this book has to be a winner. I too am a fan of, "Hollywood can forgive anything except the loss of beauty."
