Find them early enough, and they will always be her girls. n Birdie Rhodes was only thirteen when legendary modeling agent Harriet Goldman discovered her in a department store and transformed her into one of Harriets Girls. What followed felt like the start of something incredible, a chance for shy Birdie to express herself in front of the camera. But two years later, she meets a thirty-one-year-old rock star, and her teenage heart falls hard as he leads her into a new life, despite Harriets warnings. Then, as abruptly as it began, its over, like a lipstick-smeared fever dream. Birdie tries hard to forget that time--starting over in Paris, in the dying embers of the LA punk scene, in Boston at the height of the AIDS crisis. Shes not that person anymore. At least, thats what shes been telling herself. n n Decades later, Birdie lives a quiet life. She works modest gigs, takes Pilates and mostly keeps to herself. Maybe its not the glamor she once envisioned, but its peaceful. Comfortable. Then a letter arrives, inviting Birdie to celebrate Harriets fifty-year career. Except Birdie hasnt spoken to her in nearly thirty years--with good reason. n n Almost famous, almost destroyed, Birdie can only make her own future if she reckons with her past--the fame, the trauma, the opportunities she gave up for a man who brought her into a life she wasnt ready for. Just like shes not ready now. But the painful truth waits for nobody. Not even Birdie Rhodes. n n Told in two timelines, this striking debut novel explores the dizzying fallout of being seen and not heard in a high-stakes industry that leaves no silhouette unscathed. n nn
