A #1 New York Times Bestselling AuthorThe novelist dubbed the "Queen of Christian Fiction" (Time) explores the cost of fame and celebrity against the backdrop of America's favorite singing competition.Zack Dylan dreams of singing on the biggest stages, for the biggest crowds, and he'll do whatever it takes to make it come true. But Zack also made a promise to his college sweetheart when he left Kentucky to compete on the TV show Fifteen Minutes: Nothing would change him or his faith in God. But as his star rises on the show, Zack is asked to compromise and quiet his beliefs. Can a former winner warn Zack about the real price of fame?
Zack Dylan made a promise to God and his college sweetheart as he left his family's horse farm in Kentucky to compete on the popular reality television show Fifteen Minutes: If he makes it, the fame won't change him. Overnight, Zack is the nation's most popular contestant, a country singer with the looks and voice of a young Elvis. As his star rises, Zack is asked to compromise and quiet his beliefs, and also something more. Just as America is falling in love with Zack, just as he's on the verge of winning it all, his choices lead him to the brink of personal disaster. At the same time, Reese Weatherly, a therapeutic horse instructor, is no longer sure about her relationship with Zack, or the wedding they had dreamed about. While Zack advances from one round of the competition to the next, an offer comes to Reese -- one that will take her to a home halfway around the world. Then Chandra Olson -- reigning diva pop star and one of the Fifteen Minutes judges -- intervenes. Chandra has suffered so much public pain and private agony since her days as a Fifteen Minutes contestant. Now she wants just one thing: meaning. Can Chandra's private losses help Zack find his way, or will his fifteen minutes of fame cause him to lose the life he once loved?
