A Tale of Unexpected Friendship and Old Hollywood Glamour
Lauren Summers is hiding. Her fashion house internship should have launched her career, but a red carpet accident has left her blackballed. The only job she finds is unpaid, but comes with free lodging–a run-down cottage in the shadow of a cliff-side mansion. Unsure of what comes next, she’s surprised to be contacted by a reporter researching a reclusive former Hollywood ingénue who lives in the nearby mansion.
Kendall Joiner wants Lauren’s help uncovering the old woman’s secrets. In return, she’ll prove the red carpet accident was a publicity stunt so Lauren can regain her former job. With all her dreams in front of her, Lauren’s tempted by the offer, but as she and the old woman get to know each other, Lauren realizes nothing is quite as it seems.

"Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you." - the Bible
Lauren Summers' career in the fashion industry has been upended before it even got started. Shamed mercilessly for a public wardrobe malfunction, she is awarded the opportunity to hide away in a gated community while she designs costumes for a rather prestigious high school production. The neighborhood association privacy guidelines are very stringent and strictly observed, especially by the elderly woman next door, who is a virtual hermit and has reasons of her own not to associate with the general public.
When it appears that sharing casual information with a candid reporter might be the key to unlock Lauren's stalled career, she has an important decision to make, for "when you blame others, you give up your power to change".
