From the bestselling author of Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk comes a
novel about Hollywood, the cost of stardom, and selfless second
acts, inspired by an extraordinary true story. Chicago, 1916.
Doreen O’Dare is fourteen years old when she hops a
Hollywood-bound train with her beloved Irish grandmother. Within a
decade, her trademark bob and insouciant charm make her the
preeminent movie flapper of the Jazz Age. But her success story
masks one of relentless ambition, tragedy, and the secrets of a
dangerous marriage. Her professional life in flux, Doreen trades
one dream for another. She pours her wealth and creative energy
into a singular achievement: the construction of a one-ton
miniature Fairy Castle, the likes of which the world has never
seen. So begins Doreen’s public tour to lift the nation’s
spirits during the Great Depression—and a personal journey worth
remembering. A sweeping journey from the dawn of the motion picture
era through turbulent twentieth-century America, From Dust to
Stardust is a breathtaking novel about one determined woman
navigating change, challenging the price of fame, and sharing the
gift of real magic.
