Summary:
Louise Wilson mastered the tricks and shortcuts that a penniless small-town girl needs to survive in New York City. When she meets the beautiful, wealthy, eccentric, and aimless Lavinia Williams, she thinks her dreams of a cosmopolitan existence may be coming true. Lavinia introduces her to a rarified life of beauty and indulgence: private opera boxes, closets full of hundreds of dresses, and the finest champagne money can buy. The more Louise tastes, the more she wants. She finds herself haunted by the disparity between them, but will do whatever it takes to keep the party going.
