A Novel
by Emily Bleeker
A Hollywood legend. A legacy of secrets. An epic and emotional novel about forgiveness, fame, family, and truly unconditional love by the bestselling author of When We Were Enemies.
Christie's auction house, Beverly Hills. The effects of Hollywood icon Vivian Snow are up for bid. In the collection is a set of hand-drawn postcards spanning six decades. The sender is Antonio Trombello, a soldier, POW, priest, and Vivian's confidant. Each postcard sheds new light on a deeply private woman the public only thinks it knows.
It's World War II. Vivian is a USO showgirl traveling the world when her husband goes AWOL, disappears, and is presumed dead. Facing increasing suspicion, she leans on her dear friend Father Trombello for support. He's her confessor, her savior, the elusive love of her life, and when it comes to her husband's death, the keeper of Vivian's secrets.
As Vivian rises from canteen dream girl to starlet to bona fide legend, she navigates the highs and lows of Hollywood, new romances, and tumultuous family relationships―all in the shadow of her past and the guilt, unmet longing, and buried truths that could still upend the lives of everyone she loves.
