Her Part to Play

By Jenny Erlingsson

Description:

Desperate for extra income after her mother's passing, Adanne accepts a last-minute job as a makeup artist for a movie filming in her small Alabama hometown. She's working to save her parents' legacy and help her brother, but the money hardly seems worth having to face the actor who got her fired from her last job in Hollywood.

John Pope has made his share of mistakes over the years. But after turning his life over to God and enduring a messy breakup, he's ready to start rebuilding his career. Imagine his surprise when the woman called in to cover for his usual makeup artist is a quiet but feisty newcomer on the set--and definitely not a fan.

Sparks of tension--and could that be attraction?--fly between them, but Adanne hates the spotlight, and John's scheming manager has bigger plans for him than to end up with the humble makeup girl from the small-town South. Can these star-crossed lovers find their way to happiness? Or will the bright lights of Hollywood blind their eyes to what's right in front of them?

Book Takeaway:

I hope that readers are encouraged to cherish their roots, to forgive well, and to value the
community that God has placed around them as they step into Adanne and John’s sweet and spicy story. I want them to remember that God is always in the business of making things new and that answers to prayers can sometimes be found in the places you least expect.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to write a sweet romance that reflects the people we see in our churches, in our communities, and in families like mine. As followers of Christ, we are part of a diverse, colorful, and culture-filled kingdom. I also developed this specific plot idea while I watched behind the scenes footage of The Chosen. I was fascinated by all the behind the scenes segments that gave viewers a glimpse of life on set.
