Synopsis

Karina West was once the darling of the gossip pages and the top of the British pop charts. But now all that's fading away, and she needs something more - something both to make her life more fulfilled and more importantly, to get her back in the tabloids. And how better to achieve this double whammy than by adopting a poor, needy child from a far-off country?

All that sweet, ten-year-old Devika wants is a new mummy who will take her away from her Delhi orphanage and let her have a home and a family again. She prayed to Krishna for this to be so, but was she ready for a blonde, British popstar to sweep her up and back to London?

Karina and Devika are soon front-page news, but neither of them realise just how far their emotional journey will take them.

About this title

Book Description:

Warm, funny and moving - this is the story of a very modern celebrity and her adopted Indian daughter.

Synopsis:

What if the scandal-filled pages of Heat magazine really were what represented your life? Karina has pretty much everything she thought she ever wanted. The big house in Primrose Hill. The ex-career as a squeaky-clean girl-band member. The salubrious affair with dodgy, sexy boy of rock that roughed up her image through the tabloids and sent her on the road to self-destruction! the well-documented recovery accessorised with many, many magazine features! At thirty-five, and sick of every celebrity-reality-show offer that's ever come her way, what's a girl like Karina supposed to do to re-vamp her image? Fighting off the growing emptiness in her life, and the suspicion that she's become just another has-been, Karina decides on a move that will definitely put her back on the celeb-story bandwagon, as well as injecting some much-needed meaning into her life -- to adopt a child from a far-off, exotic destination. Has she just done the most caring thing she ever could for another person? Or will her actions have the most incalulable, dramatic consequences that everyone involved could never even have imagined.
