This book is many books in one. Most of all, it is a love story that reads like a fairy tale. A twelve-year-old girl goes to the movies in Brooklyn with her mother in 1926. The girl sees a larger-than-life image on the screen of actor William Boyd, and she falls madly in love. She writes his name in her school books. She starts collecting articles about him movie magazines. She fantasizes that someday she will marry him. The girl is Grace Bradley. In 1931, a talent scout from Paramount Pictures sees Grace dancing in a New York cabaret and offers her a screen test. She is immediately signed to a contract with Paramount and moves to Hollywood with her mother. She still thinks of William Boyd, but makes no attempt to contact him after she is living in Hollywood. In 1937, her phone rings and the voice on the other end says, "This is William Boyd. May I speak to Grace Bradley?"
