Tribute by Nora Roberts
I didn't plan on reading this book, but I saw it on Lifetime & asked my mum, who has read practically all of Nora Roberts books, if the book was better. She said yes, so I had decided at some point I would read Tribute, along with the other books that had shown on Lifetime of Nora Roberts. Then I got bored in North Carolina visiting someone & went to Wal-Mart, they had it, so I said why not.
I can definitely say that the book is better & I wish there were parts that they had put into the movie that were in the book, that desevered to be in the movie, but isn't that always the case with books to movies.
It is a really good book about a child star coming into her own outside the celebrity that is Hollywood, no matter how much her mother trys to pull her back in. I like how the story isn't just focused on the romance with the man she meets in the town she comes back too. As she redoes her famous Grandmothers house (from her mothers side), which was once her Great-Grandfathers house (from her fathers side). She doesn't know it, but as she starts to attempt in honoring her Grandmother, she honors her fathers side as well, & herself. She stands up for her Grandmother in believeing that her Grandmother couldn't have killed herself, especially when the truth her Grandmother was hiding comes to light after The Great Gatsby helps her find it & which makes her set out to find the truth about her Grandmothers death, even when it nearly costs her, her life.
A good read in my mind.
