Overview

"Polly Maddox lives under the sheltering wing of Santa Catalina Island, her world as small and idyllic as the isolated cove where her father ran a not-so-secret moonshine operation during Prohibition. But when he's accused of a startling crime and goes on the lam, Polly's life capsizes, leaving her with little choice but to flee toward the gleaming mirage of 1939 Los Angeles. Armed only with lightning-fast fingers and a sharp wit, Polly talks her way into the executive suite of demanding, brilliant movie producer, David O. Selznick, as he labors over his most ambitious project: a film the rest of Hollywood scornfully dismisses as ""Selznick's Folly."" As Polly gets swept into the chaos of filming ""Gone with the Wind,"" she realizes Selznick may hold a clue to where she might find her father-but does he have murky motives of his own? Undaunted, Polly's battle to clear her father's name thrusts her directly into the path of a ruthless insider-and he plays for keeps. Polly must outmaneuver his insidious ploys in a town where favors and fraud reign hand-in-hand. From the author of the Garden of Allah novels comes book one in the Hollywood's Greatest Year trilogy. This delightfully nostalgic yet gripping tale promises to transport you to a time when movies were larger than life and Hollywood was reaching its golden zenith."
