Check out the full review at Kritters Ramblings
Ellie Hogan has been living in America for quite some time and now she is a single mom of two boys and trying to raise them in the best way. One of her boys has been thinking about a life in LA as an actor and decides to up and leave boarding school and head there on his own. Ellie isn't happy with his decision and follows him there where they set up a home and help him follow this dream.
While the LA dream was the main storyline, I loved how the author weaved in other historical moments that were occurring at the same time and same place - the moments of Pearl Harbor and the effects from this time to the Japanese Americans. I also loved the inclusion of the workings of early Hollywood and the invent of the actor's agent and how the studios were formed and their early workings.
