Limelight: A Novel

In a smart and funny novel by the author of the critically acclaimed â€œbig-hearted, charmingâ€ (The Washington Post) Small Admissions, a familyâ€™s move to New York City brings surprises and humor.

Allison Brinkleyâ€”wife, mother, and former unflappable optimistâ€”discovers that her decision to pack up and move her family from suburban Dallas to the glittery chaos of Manhattan may have been more complicated than she and her husband initially thought. New York is more unruly and bewildering than she expected, defying the notions she developed from romantic movies and a memorable childhood visit. After a humiliating call from the principalâ€™s office and the loss of the job she was counting on, Allison begins to accept that New York may not suit her after all.

When she has a fender-bender, witnessed by a flock of mothers at her sonâ€™s new school, she is led to the penthouse apartment of a luxurious Central Park West building and encounters a spoiled, hungover, unsupervised teenager who looks familiar. It doesnâ€™t take long to recognize him as Carter Reidâ€”a famous pop star who has been cast in a new Broadway musical. Through this brush with stardom, Allison embraces a unique and unexpected opportunity that helps her find her way in the heart of Manhattan.

â€œA tribute to Broadway, teen celebrity life, and a mother who has now seen it all, this work is tough love at its finest and a great read for those wanting a ride on the wild sideâ€ (Booklist, starred review).
