Ginger McKnight -Chavers In The Heart Of Texas

Pitched as “a poor man’s Halle Berry,” forty-one-year-old soap star Jo Randolph, has successfully avoided waiting tables since she left Midland, Texas at eighteen. But then, in the span of twenty-four hours, Jo manages to lose her job, burn her bridges in Hollywood, and accidentally burn down her lover/director’s beach house—after which she is shipped home to Texas by her agent to stay out of sight while she sorts out her situation.

A native of Dallas, Texas, Ginger McKnight-Chavers is a graduate of Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service and Harvard Law School, as well as a Sarah Lawrence College Kathryn Gurfein Writing Fellow. She currently lives in New York, with her husband, daughter, and an overweight West Highland White Terrier. Her debut novel, In the Heart of Texas, is available now.
