About this book

When legendary actress Lily Adams dies, her granddaughter Carolyn Prior inherits questions about a woman she loved but never fully understood. Lily had been one of Hollywood's brightest stars during its golden age, known for her all-American innocence, but mysteriously disappeared from the spotlight decades earlier. While sorting through her grandmother's memorabilia, Carolyn discovers a letter containing Lily's admission of a secret life. The letter centers on superstar Stella Lane, Lily's on-screen rival, who was brutally murdered in an unsolved case. As Carolyn investigates her grandmother's connection to this notorious crime, she uncovers shocking revelations that blur the lines between Lily's past and her own present. Each discovery forces Carolyn to weigh how far she will go to uncover the truth about her grandmother's hidden history.
