Like a Star
After being burned by the one she cared the most, Summer’s ready to unlock her talent and find herself. Summer left everything for Matt’s dream. But when her childhood friend rose to international fame, he unexpectedly told her to go home. Empowered rather than broken, she tries to rebuild her life and, on the way, discovers her own artistic gift. Through a twist of fate, she captivates the great Frank Hills—an award-winning producer. He thinks Summer has what it takes to become a star and sets her up with a mysterious benefactor from his company. So she throws herself into acting... and takes the stage by storm. A natural rising star, she’s thrust into the limelight, falls in love with acting, makes true friends, finds acceptance through her benefactor and inspiration in Joe Starlex—The Sun of Starland, the tittle Matt is desperately seeking. She has no idea her past might just collide with her future: someone from her childhood turns out to be closer than she ever imagined. Their fate has been entwined since long ago and he will enter her life again, leave his mark on her career... ...and maybe, in her heart as well.
