1946. The war has just ended, and eighteen-year-old Connie Ryan dreams of stardom as the country begins to heal. Her aspirations are bigger than the smoke-filled room of her father’s social club where she sings at the weekend. There she meets Les Baxter, a wealthy man with powerful connections and a questionable reputation. She knows he is the man to make her wishes a reality. But Connie’s path is fraught with difficult decisions. And soon she must choose between matters of the heart and her unfaltering ambition. Are the sacrifices she must make for everything she’s ever wanted truly worth it? Or does she already have all she needs to make her life a dream come true?
