Publisher Description

Christy Award winner and Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement nominee James Scott Bell is a best-selling inspirational author whose gripping historical novel follows two small-town friends struggling with lofty parental expectations. Doyle dashes his father's law-school dream by getting caught up in the maelstrom of WWI. Then Zee runs off to chase her dazzling dream of silver-screen stardom-devastating her pastor father. Soon the horrors of war sap Doyle of all hope. And the Hollywood mirage strips Zee of her virtue. But will Zee or Doyle turn to God before it's too late?

"So good, how Hollywood formed, Christian influences during that time and a great story including early Hollywood stars. Fun and informative read. "

— Mina (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “In an exciting tale that spans decades, Bell skillfully makes his case that some desires are better off denied so that we can have what we really need. Doyle and Zee are sympathetic and believable, blemishes and all.”
