An Acquired Taste - Paperback

by Mark Griswold (Author)

Golden Age Hollywood. 1948. The Sunset Strip. When small-town girl Mabs Ericksson runs into a childhood friend from their hometown of Prairie River, Saskatchewan, Mabs's mundane world of steno pools, Nancy Drew books, and tomato soup dinners is quickly, and somewhat reluctantly, traded in for the false allure of fancy soirees with film stars, poolside afternoons at The Bel-Air, and casting calls at MGM. To save her friend from the darkness, she may have to sacrifice herself, for, lurking in the proverbial shadows, is a secret from her past and a Silent Film Era star guiding her present that, together, may just end up destroying her future.
