Resumen del Editor

Two women, generations apart, in the spotlight. A powerful novel about family secrets, devastating choices, and hope for the future by the bestselling author of When I’m Gone.

Camera-shy Elise Branson is different from the other women in her maternal line. Her mother is an award-winning actress. Her late grandmother, Vivian Snow, is a beloved Hollywood icon. But when Elise’s upcoming wedding coincides with a documentary being made about Vivian, Elise can’t escape the camera’s gaze. And neither can her grandmother, even in death.

It’s 1943 when Vivian, a small-town Indiana girl, lends her home front support to the war effort. As a translator in the nearby Italian POW camp, she’s invaluable. As a celebrated singer for the USO, she lifts men’s spirits and falls in love with a soldier. But behind this all-American love story is a shocking secret—one that is vital to keep buried if Vivian is to achieve the fame and fortune she covets.

For Elise and Vivian, what’s hidden—and what’s exposed—threatens to unravel their lives. The heart-wrenching choices they must make will change them both forever.

Two generations of women find their way in love and life

I enjoyed the alternating chapters covering a woman in current times and her actress/singer grandmother two generations earlier. There’s a depth to the content of their lives in setting and their emotional journeys. Lots of unexpected twists. Recommended!

Ok, not my favorite.

I liked the main character ok and I enjoyed the narrator, however the book left me with too many unanswered questions.

The factual nature of the location.

I loved the book. I hated for it to end! Not sure why this review has to be a 15 word minimum!

Women

The story shows what a difference between how women were treated back in 1943 vs today.

Following Your Heart & Dreams

I enjoyed the story overall. I do think there are a few loose ends in Vivian’s timeline. I want to know more about her sister.

Great listen

The story was good. The narrator was good. I was very pleased overall. Not a suspense or mystery but a nice love story.
I enjoyed it.

Narrator

Dislike the lilting at the end of every sentence by the narrator. Want to listen to the entire book but the rising of the voice at the end of each sentence is annoying.
