Jessie Woods is a modern day Cinderella: she lives in a fabulous pink ‘palazzo’, has her very own TV show as a daredevil and has managed to bag herself her very own Prince Charming in the shape of Sam. However before you can say ‘fairytale ending’, Jessie finds herself jobless, friendless, boyfriend-less and moneyless all within the space of a couple of days.

There’s only one thing Jessie can do, and that’s to swallow her pride and go back to her childhood home, to stay with her evil step-mother and wicked step-sisters, despite cutting them out of her life as best she could after leaving home at 16. Will Jessie be able to claw her way back to the top again, or is she destined to spend her days suffering with her family for ever more?

Another celeb who has turned her hand to writing fiction is American celebrity Nicole Richie. Nicole, most famous for her role in the TV show “The Simple Life” and being the daughter of singer Lionel, has her first book with HarperCollins released on 28th October and it’s to be called Priceless. I don’t know if Nicole wrote the book herself or used a ghostwriter, but I am quite excited to read it! Here’s the synopsis:

“Meet Charlotte Williams…Rich, gorgeous, blonde and a talented singer, she has everything going for her. Spoiled and indulged, her life has always revolved around fashion, gossip, partying and men.When Charlotte’s father – her only family since her mother’s tragic death years ago – is arrested on fraud charges, her glittering world shatters around her.

But what happens when a Park Avenue Princess is forced to fend for herself? How will she adapt to the Big Easy’s bohemian lifestyle? And in the face of anonymous death threats, can she keep herself out of danger?From the stylish avenues of Manhattan and dark clubs of the French Quarter to the bright lights of Los Angeles, Nicole Richie’s scintillating tale shows that the very life you run from is the one that won’t let you hide.”
