Beschreibung:
Becky Alexander is a non-fiction book editor by day and writes dark, twisty thrillers by night.Being more inclined to sit in the sun and read a book, Becky has always been fascinated by the psychology of actors -just why do they put themselves in the spotlight and face all that competition and rejection? To find out, Becky started acting classes and has recently taken part in her first play - which was as terrifying as expected. She remembered nearly all of the lines.When Becky's grandma died and left her a little money, Becky put some aside to help her daughters go to university and spent the rest on a Curtis Brown novel writing course, led by Charlotte Mendelson. Her first novel, The Actress, is about ambitious, driven women and what they will do to get success. Any resemblance to living people is purely intentional...
Experience life with one arm through twenty-five heartwarming stories. Laugh, gasp, contemplate, and be inspired.¿ In "Dumbest Question," Becky is asked if she's right-handed or left-handed.¿ In "Crushed," a stranger says Becky's family must have done something bad for her to have been born with one arm.¿ In "JFK," Becky's mom writes a letter to the president of the United States and gets a response.¿ In "Friday Night Lights," Becky's dad manufactures a prosthetic hand using the mechanism from an ice-cream scooper.¿ In "Bionic Woman," the Six Million-Dollar Man comes to Becky's rescue.¿ In "Capitol Hill," a United States Congressman helps Becky when her arm activates security alarms in Washington, D.C.One Smile, One Arm-You may never look at a normal day the same again!
