This book follows Olive through the 1920s where she has always loved singing and dancing. She had always known she wanted to be on the stage, specifically in Ziegfeld's Follies. She has a chance meeting with him and then runs immediately (after a big secret keeps her with an aunt for a few months) to New York to join. Even though he rejects her at first, she soon joins the show.

She meets handsome Archie and falls in love with him and his bohemian ways. They both have secrets and each chooses to leave each other at one time or another but they always find their way back.

Olive does a lot that she's not proud of. She drinks to excess and doesn't always act the way her family hopes she will, but I love her fierceness and determination to go after what she wants.

I love to learn all I can about the Roaring 20s and this was a fabulous book to dive into.
