“Fiction and fact blend seamlessly in this imagined life of a talented and beautiful woman determined from an early age to be in the world of musical theatre on her own terms.”

-Deborah Batterman, author of Just Like February

“The authenticity of the era (1913-1928) is beautifully captured in the rich detail of Leisha Douglas’s concise, lucid prose. The author has a gift for humanizing her characters in a world where you can hear a heartbeat on almost every page of this compelling novel.”

-Kevin Pilkington, author of Taking On Secrets
