A “richly textured, highly entertaining” tale of love, loss, and lifelong friendship from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Remember (Booklist).
Katharine Tempest and Francesca Cunningham couldn’t be more different, one a stormy brunette and the other a cool blonde. Yet their friendship is a constant as their lives take shape, Katharine sweeping into Hollywood as one of the era’s most sought-after actresses, and Francesca penning bestselling historical novels. But Katharine’s relentless drive to succeed will inevitably change the lives of the people who love her, and she must learn to live with regrets even as she longs for redemption.
This “rare treat” from Barbara Taylor Bradford offers another powerful story of indomitable women and the choices they make—“you will laugh and cry with the characters and . . . you won’t be able to put it down” (Literary Guild Magazine).
“A rich tapestry of love and romance. The surprise ending is both poignant and fitting.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
