In her second novel, Jill G. Hall, author of The Black Velvet Coat,
brings readers another dual tale of two dynamic women from two very
different eras searching for fulfillment. San Francisco artist Anne
McFarland has been distracted by a cross-country romance with sexy
Sergio and has veered from her creative path. While visiting him in
New York, she buys a pair of rhinestone shoes in an antique shop
that spark her imagination and lead her on a quest to learn more
about the shoes’ original owner. Almost ninety years earlier,
Clair Deveraux, a sheltered 1929 New York debutante, tries to
reside within the bounds of polite society and please her father.
But when she meets Winnie, a carefree Macy’s shop girl, Clair is
lured into the steamy side of Manhattan—a place filled with
speakeasies, flappers, and the beat of “that devil music”—and
her true desires explode wide open. Secrets and lies heap up until
her father loses everything in the stock market crash and Clair
becomes entangled in the burlesque world in an effort to save her
family and herself. Ultimately, both Anne and Clair—two very
different women living in very different eras—attain true
fulfillment . . . with some help from their silver shoes.
