He's a hunk. He's kind of famous. And he's very much dead. Ella Polansky doesn't for a moment believe that a tap shoe is what killed her best friend Sammie's one-time (literally one-time) lover. Unfortunately, much of America does. And the prime suspect is Sammie. Ella is determined to prove Sammie's innocence. But how does she handle pushy paparazzi, a blogger with a political agenda, attacks on her own reputation, and a 15-year-old girl who is now a part of Ella's life-and not her biggest fan? Family.
