Sep 2, 2014

Zack Dylan has a voice like Tim McGraw and a dream for fame.  He tries out for a popular star search show, Fifteen Minutes.  There is more at stake than fame, however.  Zack’s family farm in Kentucky is nearing the auction block, and this might be his last chance to save it.  Zack’s chances are good for making the Big Time, and he is committed.  He promises his college sweetheart Rene that being famous won’t change his beliefs. 

America falls in love with Zack, and he becomes a rising star.  It’s his dream come true. Yet in all the excitement amid the cameras and the media, the show’s producers are subtly changing storylines to dramatize Zack’s reality.   On the verge of winning, Zack is asked to put aside his beliefs.  He is torn between honoring his promises or making the producers happy.

If you like Francine Rivers or Janette Oke then you might enjoy Fifteen Minutes by Karen Kingsbury.
