It's 1927 when Olive
McCormick moves from Minneapolis to New York City determined to become a
star in the Ziegfeld Follies. Extremely talented as a singer and
dancer, it takes every bit of perseverance to finally make it on stage.
And once she does, all the glamour and excitement is everything she
imagined and more--even worth all the sacrifices she has had to make
along the way.
Then she meets Archie Carmichael. Handsome,
wealthy--the only man she's ever met who seems to accept her modern
ways--her independent nature and passion for success. But once she
accepts his proposal of marriage he starts to change his tune, and Olive
must decide if she is willing to reveal a devastating secret and
sacrifice the life she loves for the man she loves.
