Hollywood, 1914. Frances Marion, a young writer desperate for a break, meets America's Sweetheart, Mary Pickford, already making a name for herself both on and off the screen with her golden curls and lively spirit. Together, these two women will take the movie business by storm. Mary Pickford is known as the Queen of the Movies--the first actor to have her name on a movie marquee, and the first to become a truly international celebrity. Mary and her husband, Douglas Fairbanks, were America's first Royal Couple, living in a home more famous that Buckingham Palace. Mary won the first Academy Award for Best Actress in a Talkie and was the first to put her hand and footprints in Grauman's theater sidewalk. Her annual salary in 1919 was $625,000--at a time when women's salaries peaked at $10 a week. Frances Marion is widely considered one of the most important female screenwriters of the 20th century, and was the first writer to win multiple Academy Awards. The strong personal friendship between the two stars was closely linked to both their professional collaboration and their success. This is a novel about power: the power of women during the exhilarating early years of Hollywood, and the power of forgiveness. It's also about the imbalance of power, then and now, and the sacrifices and compromises women must make in order to succeed. And at its heart, it's a novel about the power of female friendship.
