| Celeste Singer is born with the proverbial silver spoon. Brought up by her divorced very wealthy mother, her life is perfect right from her birth. Never a grade less than A+, never a harsh word from her lips, with her never being anything but absolutely perfect to the world around her. But is she? What are the thoughts in Celeste's head? Who is she really, deep down inside? Those who have known her, teachers, acquaintances, friends (if she'd had any), and employees working for the family never would have given a glowing warm friendly synopsis of the Celeste known to them. Those needing to give her a recommendation list her perfection but also show the weaknesses in her emotional self. Celeste is truly an enigma.
This story is captivating, and different. When is it going to spring warmth and life for Celeste, for the reader? Who is she going to turn out to be? Will we be able to see her life unfold and happiness finally find her? This story is also not for the reader who wants only a light-hearted tale; it makes you think about the central character and how she was shaped by those around her.
