Souls for Sale Book

Remember "Mem" Steddom is a preacher's daughter in a small town, pregnant out of wedlock, and her baby's father laid out by a terrible accident. Her doctor, seeing her anguish over her situation, encourages her to head west and arranges a plan to fake a marriage and have her made up husband die, so she can return home with her reputation intact when she comes back with a baby. But the plan soon gets thrown out the window when she lands on a Hollywood set and becomes an extra on the film. When she starts to rise in the film scene, her past comes back to haunt her.
The story at times is written very melodramatically but was such a page turner. Mem learns she wants to live life her way, not the way her parents or her town thinks it should be. She wants to be a wife and mother but isn't a rush or even fearful of it anymore.
