Sometimes the biggest role you'll ever play is yourself.
 
Sascha Parks had it all until she walked away. From the six-figure job, the long-distance love, the version of success everyone applauded. Now she's chasing a dream she buried years ago, only to discover that the spotlight comes with shadows. Red carpets hide obsession. Fame invites danger.
 
Her therapist, Dr. Phylicia Armstrong built a life out of holding others together but her own is slipping fast. And when Keith, the man who always had a piece of Sascha's heart, faces a violent home invasion in London, all three are forced into reckoning.
The Background is a bold, addictive debut about identity, ambition, and the price of starting over. For every late bloomer who dares to rewrite the script.
