EBOOK Warming Up
Opis
A Novel
Approaching forty, unemployed but well-off, talented but unknown, functional but depressed, former musical actress Cecilia Morrison is in a serious slump. Although she once won leading roles, Cecilia now can&'t bring herself to audition for parts. She finally-reluctantly- seeks therapy, hoping it will make a difference . . . but in the end a runaway teenager who cons her out of sixty bucks, not therapy, is what changes her life. Whether at the apex of one&'s success or just starting out, Warming Up speaks to anyone who&'s ever wondered what it&'s all about-or who finds themselves doing something they never thought they&'d do. Warming Up was a short list finalist for the 2011 William Faulkner -William Wisdom Prize for the Novel. Ten percent of the author&'s proceeds are donated to The Night Ministry, which provides temporary housing, transitional living, and parenting services to Chicago&'s homeless youth.
