Its a gem of a story.--Laura Moriarty, author of The Chaperone For a small-town girl with big-city dreams, there is no address more glamorous than New Yorks Barbizon Hotel. Laura, a patrician beauty from Smith, arrives to work at Mademoiselle for the summer. Her hopelessly romantic roommate, Dolly, comes from a working-class upstate town to attend secretarial school. Vivian, a brash British bombshell with a disregard for the hotels rules, rounds out the trio of friends. Together, the girls embark on a journey of discovery that will take them from the penthouse apartments of Park Avenue to the Beat scene of Greenwich Village to Atlantic Citys Steel Pier -- and into the arms of very different men who will alter their lives forever.
