Aurora Pine muss früh lernen, was es heißt, anders zu sein. Als Hexe verschrien, werden ihre Mutter und sie aus dem Dorf gejagt. Im Wald lernt sie von ihr die Magie des Gesangs, doch die kraftvollen Lieder wollen Aurora nicht gelingen. Als ihre Mutter bei einem Überfall getötet wird, muss sie sich mit Betteln durchschlagen. Schließlich wendet sich ihr Glück: Sie wird bei den Sanften Schwestern aufgenommen und soll die vier Schulen der Heilung durchlaufen. Doch auch hier fällt es Aurora schwer, sich einzufügen.

No more than a promising actor with a handful of films to his name when he died in 1955, James Dean has since been elevated to an iconic status surpassed only by Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. And his image - a blend of '50s cool and tough-guy charm - has been vigorously marketed in the race to cash in on a legend that, forty years later, shows no sign of abating. But until now, no serious biography has looked beyond the studio-manufactured cliches to the volatile polarities of this complex star. Was he bisexual or gay? A neurotic con-man or a lost boy trying to find himself? And to what extent did his sexuality fire his performances? Drawing on many new and documented sources, and featuring previously unpublished photographs, Paul Alexander's revisionist and passionate biography will explode many people's myths about a rare acting genius.
