Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams

Hollywood, 1933. Selling perfume in a department store is far from the life Helen Corrigan envisioned when she headed for Hollywood with stars in her eyes. Beneath the glittering exterior, things in Tinseltown are seldom what they seem, and Helen fights to maintain her moral scruples amid trials and temptations. However, she's not about to give up on her dream of acting in wholesome movies. All she needs is a break. But what if the only "break" involves her heart?

Screenwriter Rusty Noble has one goal in mind: to make moving pictures that uplift and inspire their audiences. But his thankless job at Cooperman Studios keeps him toiling away on B-grade movies. Worse, box-office sensation Cynthia Starling--beloved by audiences and detested by those who have to work with her--won't let Rusty out of her talons. The idea of breaking away and starting fresh with his own studio seems a sketchy pipe dream at best, a career-ending fiasco at worst.

This story of hope, heartbreak, and healing along the Boulevard of Broken Dreams will linger with readers long after they close the book.
