Women's Fiction
The daughter of Hollywood royalty, Roxanne Granville is
used to getting what she wants—even if she has to break the
rules. But after a falling-out with her grandfather, a
powerful movie mogul, she has to face life on her own for
the first time.… Roxanne forges a career unique for women in the 1950s,
becoming an agent for hungry young screenwriters. She
struggles to be taken seriously by the men who rule
Hollywood and who often assume that sexual favors are just a
part of doing business. When she sells a script by a
blacklisted writer under the name of a willing front man,
more exiled writers seek her help. Roxanne wades into a
world murky with duplicity and deception, and she can’t
afford any more risks. Then she meets Terrence Dexter, a compelling African
American journalist unlike anyone she’s ever known. Roxanne
again breaks the rules, and is quickly swept up in a
passionate relationship with very real dangers that could
destroy everything she’s carefully built. Roxanne Granville is a woman who bravely defies convention.
She won’t let men make all the rules, and won’t let skin
color determine whom she can love. The Great Pretenders is a
riveting, emotional novel that resonates in today’s world,
and reminds us that some things are worth fighting for.
