The enchanting true story of the woman who redefined vampires for a generation
On June 2, 2003, Stephenie Meyer had a vivid dream that would change her life forever. She dreamed of a young girl and her sparkling vampire lover lying in a field, and that dream became Twilight. Now her vampire romance novels have become a publishing phenomenon, selling more than 100 million books worldwide, and have been translated into 37 different languages. Here is the story of the woman behind the franchise. It explores the effect of her Mormon religion upon her life and writing. It also examines the authors she loves, such as L. M. Montgomery and Orson Scott Card, and their effects upon her books. Her personal life is looked at—meeting her husband and having children; as well as her professional life—the rise of the Twilight phenomenon, its critical reception, and how Stephenie has handled such immense fame.
