About this ebook

May Anna Kovacks was discovered on the dustry streets of Butte, Montana and went on to become a Hollywood star. War, fame, marriage, love, and heartbreak came and went. What never changed was the bond she shared with her two best friends, Effa Commander and Whippy Bird. When scandal, murder, and betrayal made a legend of May Anna, only Effa and Whippy Bird could set the record straight.

Ratings and reviews

Effa Commander and her best friends, Whippy Bird and May Anna, spring to life in Butte, Montana, as Effa Commander, now in her 70s, remembers her youth and how May Anna became the famous Hollywood star named Marion Street. Buster Midnight, a champion heavyweight boxer in love with May Anna, is accused of a high-profile Hollywood murder during the Prohibition era, and Effa Commander sets people straight on how things really were in small-town Butte.
