Suzanne Redfearn delivers another gripping page-turner with her second novel, NO ORDINARY
LIFE, a story about a young mother’s fight to protect her children from the dangerous world of
Hollywood (Grand Central Publishing; Trade Paperback Original; On-Sale: February 2, 2016; ISBN: ?;
412 pages; $15.00).
FOUR-YEAR-OLD Molly Martin is as cute as they come. With her mop of curls and precocious personality, it's no wonder the crowd fell in love with her when she stepped forward to do an impromptu jig with a street musician in Santa Monica. But when a YouTube video of her performance goes viral, it turns into another thing altogether.
Swept into the vortex of Hollywood, Molly's star rises at lightning speed, straight to the pinnacle of stardom, as the world falls completely in love with her. At first it seems like the family has hit the jackpot--fame, fortune, opportunity--but when the reality of their new life settles in, the dark trappings of celebrity are revealed and their world begins to splinter apart.
Molly's mom struggles to hold it together, but when her ex-husband appears to cash in on the action, and
Molly's older sister, Emily, finds herself on the fast track to trouble, things begin to unravel. And in a business where everyone is an actor and every move you make is scrutinized by the world, it is difficult to know who to trust. Becoming famous was easy, becoming unfamous will require the performance of a lifetime.
A riveting page-turner, NO ORDINARY LIFE exposes the dark side about celebrity, child stardom, and the world of Hollywood. Suspenseful and unforgettably moving, it is a novel about the unbreakable bonds of family and the astounding devotion of a mother’s love. This compelling family drama will resonate with lovers of Jodi Picoult, Lisa Scottoline, and Kristin Hannah.

“Chillingly realistic and pulsating with suspense, this deftly told story will leave you breathless.”
—Heather Gudenkauf, author of The Weight of Silence
“Using beautifully nuanced prose and taut pacing, Redfearn skillfully weaves a gripping tale about the dark side of suburbia, where appearances rule, perception is everything, and the lines between good and evil are often blurred. This is top-notch storytelling!”
—Alyson Noel, author of The Immortal Series, The Riley Bloom series, and The Soul Seekers series
PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY REVIEW: This snappily paced, cinematic novel about a dysfunctional modern American family from architect and first-time author Redfearn contains heavy doses of violence, danger, and fear. Events hurtle along with great urgency to a rousing climax. A smart, suspenseful debut.
KIRKUS REVIEW: Redfearn's debut ratchets up the tension page by page, as husband and wife try to inflict the most damage on each other without harming the kids. Every character hides something and each surprising revelation torques the plot further. The emotional and physical injuries mount, driving inexorably toward a surprising climax. A compelling tale of deceit, violation and anguish that undergrid the myth of suburbia.
