Double Take

Laura Kennedy

When sixteen-year-old Brooke Bentley's green convertible and cell phone conk out during a tropical rainstorm, she believes it's just bad luck. But when she darts through the dark to a dilapidated Victorian she thinks is the home of a friend and is invited in by a butler wearing a faded black tux, Brooke knows it must be karma. Because how often do you meet a reclusive 1950's movie star who thinks she's actress Terry Moore? And how often does someone as charming as eighty-year-old Laura de France insist on turning you into a movie star, too?

Sixteen year old Brooke Bentley has no idea what she is in for when her car breaks down in front of Laura de France's house. The octogenarian is friendly, frail... and thinks she is the famous actress Terry Moore. Laura takes an immediate liking to Brooke, and, through a strange turn of events, soon controls almost every aspect of Brooke's life as she seeks to turn the teen into a movie star.
