A really nicely written book about 3 women who meet as children and remain friends even though one "turns out" and then goes to Hollywood and becomes a famous star, while the other 2 marry their childhood sweethearts and stay in their small town. They are always there for each other. A story of growing up, war, love, and most of all enduring friendship: Whippy Bird, Effa Commander and MayAnna Kovaks (aka Marion Street) - BFF, in today's lingo.

Definitely my favorite Sandra Dallas book. I loved every minute of this book. I wish it didn't end.

Follow the lives of May Anna, Buster, Toney, Whippy Bird, Effa Commander and others as they go through life. This is Effa Commander's story in order to set the story straight about May Anna and Buster. This novel contains the deep bonds of friendship, fame, death, heart ache and strenght. It is set in Butte, Montant during the Prohibition-era. Great read.

Sandra Dallas' characters are always so colorful. I've never heard another author name her characters anything like Whippy Bird and Effa Commander. The story line about 3 friends who grow up in Butte, Montana and their adventures before WWII and afterwards is an entertaining one - it made me stay up too late every night to read the next chapter!

Mystery, humor & a peek at WWII America. Dallas does it again. This is really a story of 2 friends and the small town folks they grew up with. The only thing missing from this book were the quilts.

May Anna Kovacks was discovered on the dusty streets of Butte, Montana, and went on to become a Hollywood star. War, fame, marriage, love, and heartbreak came and went. What never changed was the bond she shared with her two best friends, Effa Commander and Whippy Bird. When scandal, murder, and bertrayal made a legend of May Anna, only Effa and Whippy Bird could set the record straight.
