Award-winning actor and director Dinah Manoff offers an honest glimpse behind the red carpet in her novel about a Hollywood star, her improbable Malibu upbringing, and her closet full of tabloid-worthy secrets. Jackie Gold is a tabloid cover girl with a walk-in closet full of secrets and a pack of bloodthirsty paparazzi snapping at her high-heels. From the hospital bed where she lies fighting for her life, Jackie narrates her life story while press and public speculate on everything from whether “Jackie’s Jump!” was a suicide attempt, to whether or not her breasts are real.
The novel switches back and forth from the life-or-death drama unfolding in the hospital and Jackie’s reflections on her improbable show business upbringing and the events that led her to this moment in time.
