Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Set against the backdrop of the Jazz Age, this tale of regret, ambition, and redemption draws inspiration from true events, including the Great Moonshine Conspiracy Trial of 1935. In 1924, May Marshall seeks refuge at her father's farm in Virginia after a naive romance leads to her expulsion from college. Upon returning, she discovers her father's orchard is now a moonshining operation. Ignoring warnings from her childhood friend Byrd, she becomes involved in the illegal business. When her father is arrested, May flees to New York City, aiming to reinvent herself as May Valentine and pursue a career in costume design. The vibrant city offers both opportunities and the allure of nightlife and drugs. Starting as a seamstress at the Biltmore Hotel, she quickly ascends to designing costumes for an African American troupe heading to Paris. As she revels in her newfound success, the lines between right and wrong blur. When Byrd arrives, intent on bringing her back home, May distances herself from him and her past. However, her luck turns in Paris, forcing her to confront painful truths. May must choose between succumbing to her failures or seeking redemption and self-forgiveness to reclaim what she truly desires.
