“Slick, smart, raunchy entertainment” from the international bestselling author of the classic Summer of ’42 (Kirkus Reviews).
 
Ben is the writer who can’t seem to make it; Ginnie is the dancer who can’t seem to miss. In 1951 they are two scared kids in love—determined to hold onto each other no matter what. Together the world is theirs for the asking.
 
In the exhilarating landscape of 1950s showbiz, from the neon glamour of the New York stage to the starry glitter of Hollywood, they have love and success—pure, intense, and perfect. It should go on forever, fueled by enough romance and passion for all the record books and fairytales that ever were. But can their love prevail or will it all come tumbling down due to an unexpected twist neither of them could have foreseen?

Про автора

Herman Raucher began his writing career during the Golden Age of live television, penning original one hour dramas for such esteemed shows as Studio One, Goodyear Playhouse, and The Alcoa Hour. In New York he served as creative director and board member of several major ad agencies. To further fill out his life he turned his pen to writing four plays, six novels, and seven films, among them being Summer of '42 which was both a bestselling novel and a box office success. It earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay as well as a similar nomination from the Writers Guild of America. Raucher’s cult film, Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?, won the Best Original Screenplay award from the Writers Guild of Great Britain. He still feels most at home with novels, in that no one can change as much as a comma without his approval—a condition that every writer savors but very few achieve.
