Inspired by her grandmother’s story, McGraw tells the story of Nell Plat, 17, an unhappily married farm wife trapped in Kansas, and the mother of two baby girls. No reality could be further from her secret dreams of glamour and excitement, dreams that tempt her to do the unthinkable: she runs away to the wonderland of Los Angeles and its burgeoning motion picture industry.
Nell becomes Madame Annelle, costumer to the glittering Hollywood in the Roaring Twenties. But a knock on the door threatens to rip apart the seams of her own carefully constructed costume, and Nell is forced to confront the legacy of her abandonment and deception.
Beehive Books is located at 25 North Sandusky Street in downtown Delaware, Ohio.
