It's 1922 and Cora Carlisle is at loose ends. Her husband is busy with his law practice and her twin sons will soon be off to college. When an opportunity arises to spend a summer in New York City chaperoning a young girl who's attending a famous dance school, she signs on for the job. Thus begins the parallel life journeys of a Kansas matron and Louise Brooks, soon-to-be famous movie star during the silent film era. This novel also interweaves nearly a century's worth of social change with the lives the author explores. This novel offers a lot of discussion for a book club.
