The 1960's were a chaotic time in American history. Many uprisings and changes were beginning to take place resulting in riots, marches, and assignations. This was the background in American society at that time and it was portrayed in the movies and television shows and was reflected in the lives of the stars and the background players behind them with their own personal dramas. What goes on behind the stars can be just as interesting and intriguing as the stars and shows themselves. Try Later takes the reader on a journey with six young women who work as a background player meet each other on sets and become faithful and close friends for life. Janicelle Jensen, Ruth Silverman, Velvet Roseanna, Candy Carpenter, and Lorrain Carver all but one are aspiring to be actresses who hope that they might get their big break while working as background players. Janicelle Jensen, a socialite, and debutante from Boston decides to pursue a long-ago dream of being a singer after her husband wants to move west only to find out how overwhelmed and exhausted she feels when she sees how demanding and stressful it can be to be a big star. Ruth Silverman finds it impossible to give up on her dream which she has been pursuing for twelve long years continues the struggle in spite of the loneliness and pain that it causes her family, only to lead to a fatal ending. Velvet Roseanna, a raving brunette who could have anything or anyone she wants but doesn't want any of it, and through her own journey comes to realize what she had really wanted all along. Candy Carpenter, discouraged and desperate after getting nowhere for years eventually decides that she will do anything and everything to become a big star, only to experience a brutal Me Too awakening. Lorraine Caver a green-eyed flamming redhead with a sordid past wants to better herself in life and decides to give acting a try only to find that it takes far too much effort, talent, and hard work for her lazy nature and decides to go an easier route by finding a sugar daddy. Angela Whitney, whose mother was a well-acclaimed supermodel in New York doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps, decides that she would prefer an acting career, but finds herself conflicted with her primary desire to be a wife and mother and have a close family that she never had. As time flies by without any signs of obtaining their goals, each one comes to the realization that choices and changes have to be made.
