A sweeping, sensational novel of Americaâs first âIt Girl,â whose dramatic journey to center stage echoes through the decadesâfrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post.
New York, 1900. At the dawn of a new century, the cityâs streets teem with change: electricity, automobiles, a brash young President Teddy Rooseveltâand the It Girls. As artistâs muses and working models, these independent young women soar to stardom not because of their pedigrees or inherited wealth, but because of their talent, charisma, and irresistible beauty. Pop culture is born, and in a world alight with Mr. Edisonâs new bulbs, no one shines brighter than Americaâs sweetheart, Evelyn Talbot.
But the journey to stardom was not simple or straight. As a young girl, a grieving Evelyn is forced to take care of her widowed mother and kid brother. While working as a shopgirl, she is recruited as a studio model, and soon catches the eye of the preeminent artists of her age. When Broadway comes calling, Evelyn solidifies her status as the first self-made American female celebrity, a âGibson Girl,â the most sought-after face of her time. Enter a parade of powerful and power-hungry men, from world-famous architect Stanley Pierce, the visionary behind Manhattanâs mansions and iconic landmarks, to Hal Thorne, the shockingly wealthy railroad heir and premiere âplayboyâ of high society. Each man promises comfort, glamour, securityâeven love. But fame and fortune are cruel teachers.
When Evelyn finds herself at the center of a murder of passion declared âthe Crime of the Century,â the sins of the men in her life are blamed on her. In the media frenzy that erupts, Evelyn realizes thatâto surviveâshe will have to take charge of her own ending. But can this artistsâ muse turned showgirl pull off the greatest act of her life?
It Girl is a breathtaking ride inspired by a singular artist and survivor who captured the heart of American society. In Allison Patakiâs talented hands, we see Evelyn find the power to change not only the world around her, but her own destiny.
