One woman was the most glamorous star in Hollywood, a sex symbol who took the world by storm. And their friendship was fast and firm... 1952: Ella Fitzgerald is a renowned jazz singer whose only roadblock to longevity is society's attitude toward women and race. Marilyn Monroe's star is rising despite ongoing battles with movie studio bigwigs and boyfriends. When she needs help with her singing, she wantsonly the best-and the best is the brilliant Ella Fitzgerald. But Ella isn't a singing teacher and declines-then the two women meet, and to everyone's surprise but their own, they become fast friends. On the surface, what could they have in common? Yet each was underestimated by the men in their lives-husbands, managers, hangers-on. And both were determined to gain. Each fought for professional independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to surrender control to those same men. Thisnovel reveals and celebrates their surprising bond over a decade and serves as a poignant reminder of how true friendship can cross differences to bolster and sustain us through haunting heartbreak and wild success"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Fitzgerald, Ella $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Monroe, Marilyn, $d 1926-1962 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $9 81132 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 85833 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 700 1 $a Knight, Eliza, $e author. $9 233261 941 $a 7 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013207.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20240410010413.0 952 $l FFPC194 $d 20240410010204.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045451.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012813.0 952 $l SVPC124 $d 20240308150800.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240227010608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0C5D70AD53D11EE9A262BB830ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
