Do we always love as ourselves? Do we hide our true personality if it means pleasing the one we love?

She fell in love when she first saw him on the television screen. From that moment on, Nicole vowed to become an actress. Decades later, when Gary and Nicole meet by chance, Gary doesn’t fall in love with the real Nicole Graham, just a sanitized version of her. Since childhood, Nicole has had a cross to bear that nobody knows about except her mother, Reba, but she can’t tell anyone...anymore.

Gary is a well-known successful actor, who many women have coveted from as far back as their childhood. When Gary and Nicole marry, through years of diaries and letters hidden in a secret trunk, Gary learns the truth about his beloved. As he reads the story of her life told in her own words, Nicole clings to life after being involved in a near-fatal plane crash. Will he still feel the same about her, even if she survives? Can he forgive her for all the lies?

Can he understand why she led him to believe she was someone else? Is she still the same person in his eyes?

This book was written in memory of one of my favourite actors, and to remind us that not all illnesses are worn on one’s shirt sleeves. Far beyond a simple love story, this novel touches on a world issue that has become very prominent, and one that has touched many people's lives, including my own.
