Synopsis for a new book I'm working on... this one came to me in a dream... so vivid I couldn't ignore it. Tell me your thoughts.
Lydia was good girl.
She was a loving wife, the mom who always had cookies baking and house full of her kids friends. Her students loved her and her friends always wondered… how does she do it all?
Yeah, Lydia had it all, until a sudden illness took her husband- the only man she’d ever loved- leaving her a widow in her thirties, scrambling to keep it together. But when Lydia’s career crumbles, she decides maybe it’s time for a change. Time to stop being good for everyone else all the time. Fueled with grief, wine and the bolstering of two K Pop obsessed daughters, she applies for a teaching job in South Korea- certain she, who decidedly does not know the language, would never get it.
Except an American woman to teach English is exactly what the small school is looking for- and they hire her on the spot…
To start in three weeks.
Life in Korea is hard, not understanding the language fast enough, no friends and three teens who feel the weight of culture shock. When a co worker suggests joining a chat thread or two to make friends and learn Korean, Lydia agrees, choosing one that seems promising…
Never expecting to find herself in a secret group chat of K Pop wives and hearing more tea about her daughters' favorite idols than she could ever pretend to make up. She offers to leave, sign anything to keep their secrets safe…. But they don’t want her to leave the chat. No, they are thrilled, excited- and want play matchmaker…to have her to become one of them….
A Secret Wife of K Pop.
Can Lydia do that? She’s hasn’t dated in years…. Is she even still desirable? Will she fit in, find love after reserving herself to being alone the rest of her life?
And then she meets Axel Choi- the self-proclaimed bad boy of K Pop, just a year younger than her- mouthy and brash and gorgeous…
A man Lydia finds herself wanting to be a good girl for…
