At seventeen, Susanna Moore left her home in Hawaii, with no money, no belongings and no prospects: until she learned to dress in disguise. Living in 1960s Los Angeles, she meets Joan Didion and Audrey Hepburn, and works as a script reader for Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson, with whom she has a relationship. Hers is a sardonic, humorous portrait of Hollywood in the seventies and of a young woman’s hard-won arrival at selfhood.
