It is 1950 in glittering, vibrant New York City. Lucia Sartori is
the beautiful twenty-five-year-old daughter of a prosperous Italian
grocer in Greenwich Village. The postwar boom is ripe with
opportunities for talented girls with ambition, and Lucia becomes
an apprentice to an up-and-coming designer at chic B. Altman's
department store on Fifth Avenue. Engaged to her childhood
sweetheart, the steadfast Dante DeMartino, Lucia is torn when she
meets a handsome stranger who promises a life of uptown luxury that
career girls like her only read about in the society pages. Forced
to choose between duty to her family and her own dreams, Lucia
finds herself in the midst of a sizzling scandal in which secrets
are revealed, her beloved career is jeopardized, and the Sartoris'
honor is tested.
