It was unimaginable. When she was eight years old, Lily Decker somehow survived the auto accident that killed her parents and sister, but neither her emotionally distant aunt nor her all-too-attentive uncle could ease her grief. Dancing proves to be Lily's only solace, and eventually she receives a "scholarship" to a local dance academy--courtesy of a mysterious benefactor. Grown and ready to leave home for good, Lily changes her name to Ruby Wilde and heads to Las Vegas to be a troupe dancer, but her sensual beauty and voluptuous figure land her work instead as a showgirl performing everywhere from Les Folies Bergere at the Tropicana to the Stardust's Lido de Paris. Wearing costumes dripping with feathers and rhinestones, five-inch heels, and sky-high headdresses, Ruby may have all the looks of a Sin City success story, but she still must learn to navigate the world of men--and figure out what real love looks like. With her uncanny knack for understanding the hidden lives of women, Elizabeth J. Church captures both the iconic extravagance of an era and the bravery of a young woman who dances through her sadness to find connection, freedom, and, most important, herself. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012609.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728010806.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114500.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180907014836.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20180828012603.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20180731020859.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180602010639.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20180413010313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F55F5B7E3EDF11E8971DA9FD96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
