Priscilla Winslow has achieved success on the New York stage, but the growing film industry offers a different kind of career and draws her west to Hollywood. The move replaces live audiences with cameras, studios and an industry in which performers can become famous far beyond the theatre district that first made their reputations.

Priscilla’s ambition is tested by the compromises required to build a screen career during the silent era. Family expectations, romance and religious conviction remain important, but Hollywood rewards reinvention and public image. The novel follows a performer deciding how much of herself she is willing to reshape for a new medium that is rapidly becoming one of America’s dominant forms of entertainment.
