A novel by

 
 
Lauren Olsen, a popular actress who has long since abandoned the beliefs and standards of her Mormon upbringing, is on the verge of winning an Academy Award. Her coveted Hollywood career includes a mansion, several servants, and all the accolades that come with stardom. It also includes two failed marriages and a drinking problem, which prompt Lauren to take a close look at her life. Lauren's new chauffer, Mark Ellege, considers Lauren an indulgent, worldly woman. However, as he spends time with her, he begins to see her more as a loving single mother of two children than as a big Hollywood star. Aided by her children's gentle push, Lauren looks to Mark for an opportunity to reinvent her life and forge a path back to the Church. First, however, she must sacrifice her lifestyle and the Hollywood clout that comes with an Oscar. Mark, meanwhile, must decide whether his affection for Lauren and her children is strong enough to overcome his judgments about her past. Star Shining Brightly is a moving tale about a woman who finds an unlikely love when she chooses the redemption that leads to eternal happiness.
