Please note that each contest is only open for 24 hours, so you will need to act quickly! Today's Featured Book and Contest: A young romance writer makes a discovery that throws her elitist family into chaos in this sharp, witty and entirely delightful family drama for fans of Elinor Lipman and Jennifer Weiner. Emma Page grew up the black sheep in a bookish household, raised to believe that fine literature is the only worthy type of fiction. Her parents, self-proclaimed “serious” authors who run their own vanity press, The Mighty Pages, mingle in highbrow social circles that look down on anything too popular or mainstream. Her sister, Jess, is a powerful social media influencer whose stylish reviews can make or break a novel. Hiding her own romance manuscript from her disapproving parents, Emma finds inspiration at the family cottage among the “fluff” they despise: the juicy summer romances that belonged to her late grandmother. But a chance discovery unearthed from her Gigi’s belongings reveals a secret that has the power to ruin her parents’ business and destroy their reputation in the industry --- a secret that already has fallen into the hands of an unscrupulous publishing insider with a grudge to settle. Now Emma must decide. As much as she’s dreamed of the day when her parents are forced to confront their own egos, can she really just sit back and watch The Mighty Pages be exposed and their legacy destroyed? From the wealthy enclaves of the Hamptons to the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan, THE PAGE TURNER is a delectable glimpse inside the world of publishing...and Viola Shipman’s most glittering achievement yet.
