It's July 1921, "flickers" are all the rage, and Irene Van Beck has just declared her own independence by jumping off a moving train to escape her fate in a traveling burlesque show. When her friends, fellow dancer Millie Martin and comedian Henry Weiss, leap after her, the trio finds their way to the bright lights of Hollywood with hopes of making it big in the burgeoning silent film industry...What begins as a quest for fame and fortune soon becomes a collective search for love, acceptance, and fulfillment as they navigate the backlots and stage sets where the illusions of the silver screen are brought to life. - Publisher


Juliette Fay is the bestselling author of five novels, including the
USA TODAY bestseller The Tumbling Turner Sisters. A graduate of Boston College and Harvard University, she lives in Massachusetts with her husband and four children. She can be reached on her website, www.juliettefay.com.

Michele Stuart - Owner, Michele's Pies

Opening its doors in Norwalk in December of 2007, Michele's Pies is a gourmet pie shop serving handmade sweet and savory pies, an array of handmade cookies, tea breads, puff pastry, cheesecakes and other items. Michele's Pies has won a total of 33 first place awards at National Pie Championships-including the first at the 2007 National Pie Championships for her Chocolate Pecan Bourbon Pie.

Michele's earliest childhood memories center around her grandma's kitchen, where they
would spend hours peeling fruit, crimping dough, creating glazes, and monitoring creations. When her grandmother passed away in 2006, the last thing she told her was, "Grandma, one day I am going to make your pies famous!" And to this day, it is the making of pies and interacting with customers that bring Michele her professional joy.

Learn how with passion, determination and commitment to quality, Michele
successfully started and sustained a business in a very competitive category.
