Book Synopsis
"Catch the Sun" is a story of growing obsession as Amanda Grace, a woman whose beauty is undeniable but whose talents are questionable, becomes captivated by the haunting apparition of Marilyn Monroe. As she explores the fragility, beauty, and dazzling rise to fame of the once great movie star, Amanda gradually loses her own tenuous hold on reality.
After hearing about her mother’s
suicide, Amanda Grace falls into a deep depression. She battles feelings of
inadequacy, abandonment, and desperation. In the midst of Amanda’s darkness,
Marilyn Monroe begins to appear around her. The sightings encourage Amanda to
attempt to revive her lifeless acting career, but can she conquer her demons?
Lee Zamloch has written two stories
that beautifully interweave in Catch the Sun. Zamloch introduces us to Amanda
Grace, a former model and struggling actress, and shares the intimate side of
Marilyn Monroe who walked a similar path as Grace, some thirty years earlier.
Both women battle depression, substance abuse, and the desire to be loved for
who they truly are opposed to the persona that everyone else sees.
Catch the Sun deals with stardom,
obsession, losing yourself to please others, and grasping onto strings to
regain control while dealing with intense issues.
