Having the perfect life isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Designer Lily Chau doesn't know if she's finally got it together or if life is starting to unravel. With a successful boyfriend and a great job at up-and-coming fashion house Garments of Praise, it seems she has the perfect pattern for success. But her mother's health is failing, her boyfriend just won't pop the question, and being a pattern maker is a far cry from having a clothing line of her own. Lily is sure her hands are just too full to draw her deepest dreams.Raya and Chenille, Lily's pals at Garments of Praise offer plenty of advice and sympathy. Jean, Lily's co-worker and second Mom even goes behind Lily's back to boost her chances of success. When she's chosen for the reality show The Next Design Diva, it seems like the chance of a lifetime for Lily. But the mysterious designer chosen to mentor her sends her spinning. He's fresh, fine—and way off limits. Suddenly Lily's life goes from carefully patterned to nothing but a tangle of threads.

Awesome!
What I do to start more traffic is to visit other people's blogs and comment. I look at what some comments are and will visit them too. It is a fun, fun, fun time.
If you look at my blog, you'll see that I have links to my other blogs...more like a website. That way, I keep my book blog seperate...I also have a bio blog, a bible study blog, a blogging blog, and FIRST (of course). Let me know if you decide to do something like that. I'll put the link in for the regular or 'reviews' blog on the FIRST blog.
Glad you're with us!
Marilynn is a really cool lady, too. She is a blogger!
Thanks CJ! Hi MC. You're pretty cool yourself. :) Marilynn
