Kelly,

I am published, but I've never had to write a book proposal. I wrote one true story and the rest are fiction. With fiction they ask for synopses. I can recommend a book by Michael Larsen. It's called How To Write a Book Proposal. It's very good. You can purchase it through Amazon.com both new and used, starting at $4.25. Michael and his wife Elizabeth Pomada are Literary Agents in the San Francisco area. They have a Web Site if you want to check them out. I met them at a writers conference once. They are good people. They've been in the business since 1972.
