Avis knew one thing... She wanted to be a good mother. At least a better mother than her own had been. Could she be the exception in her family? She traded Romoland for Modesto, married young, and started a family. Checking the boxes didn't a happy marriage make. Before her children were a few years old, she already knew she'd made a mistake. There was something about men. And the city. And glitz. And glamor. She knew she had to get away. Hollywood. Vegas. Cocktails. Movie stars... Surely being a two-time beauty contest winner would pave the way to happiness. Wasn't this what the 1950s preached? But something didn't add up. The 1950s didn't deliver. You'll love this tragedy with a twist, because everyone loves a broken woman trying to do what's right. Get it now.
