She's witnessed it. With the men of Chicago off fighting WWII on distant shores, Franny has watched the women of the city taking charge of the war effort. But amidst the war bond sales and factory shifts, something surprising has emerged, something Franny could never have expected. A new marvel that has women flocking to comedy clubs across the nation: the Showstopper. When Franny steps into Chicago's Blue Moon comedy club, she realizes the powerof a Showstopper-that specific magic sparked when an audience laughs so hard, they are momentarily transformed. And while each comedian's Showstopper is different, they all have one thing in common: they only work on women. After a traumatic flashback propels her onstage in a torn bridesmaid dress, Franny discovers her own Showstopper is something new. And suddenly she has the power to change everything...for herself, for her audience, and for the people who may need it most"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women comedians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish comedians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic realism (Literature) $9 74672 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Jewish historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Robins, Eden. $t When Franny stands up $d Naperville, Illinois : Sourcebooks Landmark, [2022] $z 9781728256016 $w (DLC) 2022006660 941 $a 10 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011848.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014332.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030633.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20230228010451.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230222012743.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20230113010615.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230111010555.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20230103011859.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221111010125.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220816010225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CCB23C381D2811EDA31652FF20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
