Encore

About the Book

Sometimes the greatest gifts come in the most unexpected packages, as Hollywood's leading man is to discover

To the public, wildly popular Quinn Donovan seems to have it all wealth, a thriving career, the adoration of fans world-wide and a marriage made in heaven. But even the blessed are not immune to life's tragedies. Haunted by a demon he cannot exorcize, he comes away from a personally ravaging movie shoot with his marriage but a memory and his sanity hanging in the balance, and knows that he has to make sense of his life before it destroys him.

By a strange quirk of fate, his quest leads him to northern Minnesota and the auburn-haired, green-eyed Katie Kelly. "Not the person I came to see," he is to tell her later, "not someone who I thought had a ghost of a chance of helping me, but I was stuck with you " And happily 'stuck' he continued to be.

The captivating Encore takes us from the scenic beauty of northern Minnesota to the Washington D.C. of September 11th to the glittering playground of Hollywood, and presents a heartwarming view of the relationship between filmdom's golden boy and the small-town girl who is his salvation.
