Chicago, 1916. Doreen O'Dare is fourteen years old when she hops a Hollywood-bound train. Within a decade, her trademark bob and insouciant charm make her the preeminent movie flapper of the Jazz Age. But her success story masks one of relentless ambition, tragedy, and the secrets of a dangerous marriage. A sweeping journey from the dawn of the motion picture era through turbulent twentieth-century America, this is a breathtaking novel about one determined woman navigating change, challenging the price of fame, and sharing the gift of real magic.
