"Inspired by a true story, The Night She Won Miss America is part
love story, part true-crime saga, written with spirit and panache."
--Vanity Fair Betty Jane Welch reluctantly enters the Miss Delaware
contest only to make her mother happy, but to her surprise, she's
the judges' top choice. Just like that, she's catapulted into the
big time: the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City. Luckily, her
pageant-approved escort for the week is the dashing but mercurial
Griffin McAllister, and she falls for him hard. But when the
spirited Betty unexpectedly wins the crown and sash, she finds she
may lose what she wants most: Griff's love. To stay together, she
impulsively agrees to run away with him. And then the chase is on:
from the shadowy streets of Manhattan to a cliffside mansion in
Newport, as the cops, a cunning socialite, and a scrappy young
reporter secretly in love with the beauty queen threaten to unravel
everything--and expose Griff's darkest secret. "Expect glamour,
grit, and some truly unpredictable twists and turns." --Town &
Country "A cinematic tale in the tradition of a Douglas Sirk movie,
and the perfect book to pack away in your beach bag." --Adweek
Dripping Lights is a natural blend of experience, dreams and
philosophy. Individually, each poem is designed to provoke thought
and uncover new perspectives. Collectively, they form an
autobiographical journey through the world of the author.
