In this riveting novel from the author of The Dressmaker’s Dowry, an aspiring Hollywood actress makes a shocking choice in 1940, and seventy years later a young mother sets out to discover what happened . . . Summer 1940: When Violet Harcourt is crowned Miss California in her hometown of Santa Cruz, she’s determined to see herself on the silver screen.

So she makes a bold decision, leaving her name in headlines and her fate a mystery. Summer 2007: Single mother Marisol Cruz lives in a charming seaside cottage that belonged to her grandfather, Ricardo, once a famed performer on the Beach Boardwalk.
