<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>What happens when your mother's dying wish becomes your worst nightmare?</b> <p/>What happens when the world's greatest literary icon dies before she finishes the final book in her best-selling series? <p/> And what happens when she leaves that book in the hands of her unstable, neurotic daughter, who swears she's not a real writer? <p/>Sara Grayson is a thirty-two-year-old greeting card writer about to land the toughest assignment of her life. Three weeks after the death of her mother--a world-famous suspense novelist--Sara learns that her mother's dying wish is for <i>her</i> to write the final book in her bestselling series. <p/> Sara has lived alone with her dog, Gatsby, ever since her husband walked out with their Pro Double Waffle Maker and her last shred of confidence. She can't fathom writing a book for thirty million fans--not when last week's big win was resetting the microwave clock. <p/> But in a bold move that surprises even herself, Sara takes it on. Against an impossible deadline and a publisher intent on sabotaging her every move, Sara discovers that stepping into her mother's shoes means stumbling on family secrets she was never meant to find--secrets that threaten her mother's legacy and the very book she's trying to create.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"From the moment I began this debut novel, I knew I was in for a treat. <i>The Audacity of Sara Grayson</i> is a rich tale...with dramatic twists at every turn.
