Meet twenty-two-year-old Cherry Pye (n\u00e9e Cheryl Bunterman), a pop star since she was fourteen\u2014and about to attempt a comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster.<\/p>\n
Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her \u201cundercover stunt double,\u201d Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too \u201cindisposed\u201d\u2014meaning wasted\u2014to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.<\/p>\n
Now the challenge for Cherry\u2019s handlers (\u00fcber\u2013stage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whacker\u2013wielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry\u2019s public\u2014and from Cherry herself.<\/p>\n
The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has had a bewitching encounter with Skink\u2014the unhinged former governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swamp\u2014and now he\u2019s heading for Miami to find her . . .<\/p>\n
Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry\u2019s motley posse does?<\/p>\n
All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the celebrity fast lane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
