Two young girls are exposed to radiation. One survives, the other does not.
What they're saying about it:
"Shelley Stout debuts with a novel of characters as compelling as the true story it covers. Like a good reporter, she follows the facts. In this case she not only uncovers a story little known, but more importantly she reveals in her characters, the humanity of a tragic tale."--Batt Humphreys, former senior producer for CBS News and author of Dead Weight
"5 Stars......this was a novel to tug at the heart."--Red Adept (Kindle Book Review blog)

What will it take to get rid of film star and part-time egomaniac, Ren Spencer?
What they're saying about it:
"It has been a very long time since I have read a book as delightful as "Celebrities for Breakfast." I live in Chicago, and I have travelled extensively throughout Illinos. The description of Illinois B&B that serves as the focal point of this book transported me back to my summer visits to the southern area of Illinois as a pre-teen. Stout's characters -- Ren, Judith and Shannon -- remind me so much of myself and my two classmates. The situations that these three find themselves in as it relates to romance. You will experience every emotion imaginable -- joy, hilarity, melancholy, but most of all, you will walk away from this book with a reminder the importance of sisterhood. I strongly recommend this book!"--Amazon Reviewer
"Reading this book really reminded me of those delightful 1960s Doris Day/Rock Hudson romantic comedies given a modern twist. We have the leads: the has-been Hollywood actor seeking solace in a bottle, the divorced mother wanting her daughter to have a normal life away from the harmful influences of Hollywood and the daughter suffering all the angst of teenage years. They may sound like typical stereotypes but Shelley Stout's writing technique makes them fascinating individuals."--CarolAnn from The Romance Reviews
As someone who dabbles in antique watch repair, I have long known about the tragedy of the early "luminescent" watch dial painters. I may have to pick up Radium Halos.
