From the New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright
Places-soon to be a Netflix film starring Elle Fanning-comes the
story of a fearless and spirited World War II pilot who boldly sets
her sights on movie stardom. In 1945, Velva Jean Hart is a bona
fide war heroine. After a newsreel films her triumphant return to
America, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer promises to make her a star. They give
her a new life story and a brand new name. As "Kit Rogers," she
navigates the movie sets, recording sessions, parties, staged
romances, and occasional backstabbing that accompany her newfound
fame. She also navigates real-life romance, finding herself caught
between a charismatic young writer and a sexy and enigmatic
musician from her past. But when one of her best friends dies
mysteriously and the most powerful studio in the world launches a
cover-up, Velva Jean goes in search of the truth-risking her own
life, as well as her heart, in the process. Set during Hollywood's
Golden Age and peopled with a cast of unforgettable characters,
American Blonde will mesmerize readers of The Chaperone as well as
fans of the Velva Jean series.
