By day, for 25 years, soap opera fans have known actress Calliope Hart as Napa Valley’s resident diva, Jessica Sinclair. By night, Callie is a flustered breadwinner, scrambling to provide for her 12-year-old son and her mother. So when the network announces that her show will be canceled, Callie is beyond shocked—she doesn’t know who she is anymore. At first, driven by financial concerns for her family that include blackmail payments to her son’s biological father, she rallies fans to save the show. But is that what she really wants? When she learns that her mother has been driving her son to auditions she’s strictly forbidden—and worse, that he’s been offered opportunities—Callie sees her own child’s youth and drive in competition with her age and experience. Can Callie summon the courage her son displays to risk her lucky meal ticket and reinvent her career—and, for the first time, test her growth as an actress and a mom? “Aptly titled, Daytime Drama plunges you instantly into the world of Calliope Hart: actress by day, single mother at night, keeper of one great big secret and a whole bunch of insecurities. Sarahlyn Bruck deftly manipulates her characters’ strengths and weaknesses and keeps you guessing right to the last page.” – Barbara Conrey, USA Today bestselling author of Nowhere Near Goodbye
