As she gingerly places a gown once worn by Greta Garbo on a mannequin, she discovers another name hidden beneath the designer's label, leaving her to wonder--who is Zora Lily? 1924, Seattle: Poverty-stricken Zora Hough spends her days looking after her younger siblings while sewing up holes and fixing hems for clients to bring in extra money, working her fingers to the bone just to survive. But at night, as she lies in the bed she shares with one of her three sisters, she secretly dreams of becoming a designer like Coco Chanel and Jeanne Lanvin. When her best friend gets a job dancing in a club downtown, Zora is lured in by her stories of music, glittering dresses and boys. She follows her friend to the underground speakeasies that are at once exciting and frightening--with smoke hanging in the air, alcohol flowing despite Prohibition, couples dancing in a way that makes Zora blush and a handsome businessman named Harley. It's a world she has only ever imagined, and one with connections that could lead her to the life she's always dreamed of. But as Zora's ambition is challenged by tragedy and duty to her family, she'll learn that dreams come with a cost."--Back cover. 610 20 $a Smithsonian Institution $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / General $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FIC044000 $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Women $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Women dressmakers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fashion design $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dance halls $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Seattle (Wash.) $x History $y 1919-1933 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l ECPA325 $d 20240228130050.0 $m AF Sal 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020511.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20231201012016.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20231102012640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8BA36262794811EE8DD2691B42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
