Entertaining Welsey Shaw: a Novel about celebrity

Welsey Shaw is tired of being called spoiled, selfish and mean. A celebrity since she was a child, raised by nannies and chased by paparazzi, she has almost never known a normal life. Now she wants to see if she can become a regular person and be loved for who, not what, she is. She chooses an ordinary place to try her experiment: Starbucks cafe at 48th and Park Avenue, New York. That’s where she meets Daniel Ferreira, a writer who’s tired of his ordinariness and longing for recognition. And sometimes opposites attract, or at least become very curious about one another, and Welsey starts trusting Daniel like she never has any of her showbiz friends. Entertaining Welsey Shaw is about our obsession with celebrities and fame, and how hard it can be for the people we envy to simply live day-by-day.
