In Alli Sinclair's moving story of love, loss, and ambition, two independent women, born decades apart, strive to fulfill their dreams.
In the movies, anything is possible. But as location manager Claire Montgomery knows, real life offers constant challenges, especially in an industry dominated by men. For her new project, Claire needs access to a beautiful Art Deco cinema located in Starlight Creek, a small town in northern Australia sugarcane country. Though the movie theater and its elderly owner, Hattie, are both charming, Hattie's handsome great-nephew isn't so easy to convince. Claire must win their trust and permission, though even if she succeeds, she'll face more complications than she could have anticipated . . .
1950s Hollywood: Lena Lee has worked hard to get ahead in Hollywood without getting caught up in backstabbing and infighting like so many other actors. In an era when censorship is rife and accusations of communism are rampant, Lena sees her star on the rise. But with increased visibility comes a greater awareness of what's expected from women in her position. Lena is not willing to stay silent and go along with the game. Will she risk her career - and a newfound love - to stand up for what she thinks is right?
