For a small-town girl with a big dream in 1955, there is no address
more glamorous than New York's Barbizon Hotel. Laura, a patrician
beauty from Smith, arrives in its vaunted halls to work at
"Mademoiselle "for the summer. Her hopelessly romantic roommate
Dolly comes from a working-class upstate town to attend secretarial
school. Vivian, a brash, redheaded British bombshell with a
disregard for the hotel's rules, rounds out the unlikely trio of
friends.
As the summer wears on, Laura struggles to find her footing in
the chic but formidable world of Manhattan publishing while Dolly
battles her own demons of self-doubt. Vivian longs to sing at the
Stork Club instead of just shilling cigarettes there, but finds
herself floundering in more ways than one. Together, the girls
embark on a journey of self-discovery that will take them from the
penthouse salons of Park Avenue to the Beat scene of Greenwich
Village to Atlantic City's Steel Pier -- and into the arms of very
different men who will alter their lives forever.
