Book Description
A journalist recounts her romantic journey from Hong Kong’s jet set to a small Indian village—where she discovers her Prince Charming is an actual prince. Alison Singh Gee was a glamorous magazine writer with a serious Jimmy Choo habit, a weakness for five-star Balinese resorts, and a reputation for dating highborn British men. Then she met Ajay, a charming and unassuming Indian journalist, and her world turned upside down. Traveling from her shiny, rapid-fire life in Hong Kong to Ajay’s native village, Alison learns that not all is as it seems. Turns out that Ajay is a landed prince (of sorts), but his family palace is falling to pieces. Replete with plumbing issues, strange noises, and intimidating relatives, her new love’s ramshackle palace, Mokimpur, is a broken-down relic in desperate need of a makeover. And Alison wonders if she can soldier on for the sake of the man who just might be her soul mate. This modern-day fairytale takes readers on a cross-cultural journey from the manicured gardens of Beverly Hills, to the bustling streets of Hong Kong and finally to the rural Indian countryside as Alison comes to terms with her complicated new family, leaves the modern world behind, and learns the true meaning of home.

Book Description
I was fortunate to be a part of the Golden Years of Hollywood albeit the tail end of it. MGM was the largest and most lucrative film studio in the world. This giant of a studio made one movie a week in its heyday. With stars who were stars. And story lines that you could follow without the aid of computers and digital innovations. Louis B. Mayer had just been dethroned and a new group of "filmmakers" emerged. That's when I joined MGM. This book follows my career from this point until my very last film entitled "DANGEROUS LIAISONS" and retired having received an Academy Award nomination for the best picture of 1988. This book, hopefully, will reflect the "happenings" that occurs during the making of a film - some sad - some fascinating but definitely extremely humorous. This is raw Hollywood as it was Hank Moomjean
