This story isn't just another rock and roll romance...<br>It's a trip down memory lane, to the early days of the 21st century as seen through the eyes of a young, single mother who is trying to live up to the dreams she created for herself as an MTV loving teen. 24 Hours in Vegas is the sexy and sometimes silly tale about the importance of living life to the fullest, and falling in love with yourself before you can fall in love with anyone else. Be prepared to laugh, cringe and maybe even shed some tears, as we join our heroine on a self-discovery mission to, of all places, Las Vegas. Will what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas? Judging from the confessional nature of this novella, probably not! And you will not want to miss a second of it!
