I read this book in two days, which either shows it was great or it was easy reading. I really enjoyed this book until the end. Basically, the plot is that Cora travels with a young 15 year old, Louise Brooks, to New York, for dance. The book takes place during the 1920s and highlights women's vote, clothing changes, prohibition, great depression, etc. Cora is a married women with two grown sons. She participates in society functions and follows all the 'rules' such as morals and how someone should dress. She travels to New York, in order to discover more about her past. Louise doesn't enjoy following Cora's rules and often tries to break free.

Cora discovers herself more than just being the society woman, wife, and mother. Her spirit is almost awakened as she sees Louise act certain ways.

I almost give the book 4 stars, but I really wasn't pleased with the ending. Yes, Cora discovered herself more in New York, but I think it was too drastic than what probably would actually happen. There wasn't too much character depth. The author seemed to need to include all details from this time period. Did I enjoy the book? Yes, but I didn't love the book.
