From the USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man, a vibrant fish-out-of-water story about a young woman whose "little" white lie might turn out to be her big break—or her professional downfall.

All Bianca Thompson wants is to make documentaries. Real life, caught on film. But photocopying movie scripts is the closest she’s ever come to the director’s seat. When she learns she’s a finalist for a prestigious filmmaking grant, she has one chance to impress the judges.

Her pitch? A behind-the-scenes documentary about Brazil’s first all-female samba school, the president and founder of which is Bianca’s aunt, Sonia Almeida Gonçalves. The catch? Bianca doesn’t speak a lick of Portuguese. She’s never set foot in Brazil. And she’s never even met her aunt.

When Bianca finds a letter from her aunt to her mother, highlighting just how strained their relationship was before Bianca’s mother passed, Bianca is caught between her family and the truth, or finally making a name for herself.  Her choice could cost Bianca her integrity . . . or open up her whole world.
