About this ebook
The page-turning New York Times bestseller about three college friends who boldly chase their dreams of love and success in the changing world of 1950s America
Each one had her heart set on getting Cinderella's glass slipper . . .
In Ellsworth, Kansas, on the last day of May, high school senior Carol Martin sits with the other girls in their white summer dresses. The moment has finally arrived: The scholarship winners are going to be announced. . . . Nora Levin was accepted at half a dozen colleges, including Columbia and Vassar. But Indiana is about as far as she can get from her Brooklyn roots—and a mother whose main mission in life is to see her only daughter married. . . . Julie Hammond works at a diner to help put her husband through law school. She never finished high school, but she's about to be offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
The three young women meet at Claymore University. Nora plans to become a bestselling writer. Carol wants to be a movie star. Julie dreams of a career on the stage. From Indiana to New York, Paris to Hollywood, they discover that happily ever after requires hard work, a sense of humor, sacrifice, and choices that will test them in ways they never imagined.
