About This Book

Set against the tense backdrop of the 1930s, two sisters navigate their very different lives—one chasing stardom in bustling New York, the other grounded in a quiet Canadian town. As world events cast a shadow over their dreams, their close bond faces challenges that test their strength and resilience. Together, they explore what it means to seek freedom, love, and identity amid societal expectations and unexpected hardships.
