But her thrill turns to panic when she's tapped to play the leading role, sexy showgirl Cherie. One thing tall, plus-size Lexa knows for sure is that she is the exact opposite of the most famous Cherie ever: sex-goddess Marilyn Monroe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLexa wants out before she makes a fool of herself in front of everyone. But then something entirely unexpected happens: The spirit of Marilyn Monroe appears--ready and willing to be Lexa's personal acting coach--and talks her out of quitting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSoon, Lexa's life becomes a screwball comedy, with her bouncing between Marilyn's acting \"help,\" her crush on her gorgeous co-star Brian, and her unexpected attraction to the mysterious Jeremy Leith. Comedy shifts to drama, though, as Lexa's fear of humiliation--fueled by Brian's jealous girlfriend--morphs into full-on stage fright. A fright that grows dangerously intense when Marilyn starts having decidedly un-spiritish feelings that have nothing to do with Lexa or the play. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore the curtain rises on opening night, Lexa and Marilyn will have to learn to trust their own hearts and act on what each truly needs to move on--in life and in death.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mima Tipper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e She Writes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/2\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.14 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.44\" H x 5.44\" L x 0.95\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9798896363200\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48528889184410,"sku":"9798896363200","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9798896363200.jpg?v=1782742634","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/channeling-marilyn-mima-tipper-paperback","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
