A powerful book in regards to a gutsy showgirl who tries to overcome her past one of the glamour of 1960s Las Vegas - and discovers unexpected fortune, camaraderie, and love. It was unimaginable. When she was eight years old, Lily Decker somehow survived the auto accident that killed her parents and sister, but neither her emotionally distant aunt nor her all-too-attentive uncle could ease her grief. Dancing demonstrates to be Lily's only solace, and eventually she obtains a "scholarship" to an area dance academy - thanks to a mysterious benefactor. Grown and prepared to leave home once and for all, Lily changes her name to Ruby Wilde and heads to Las Vegas to be a troupe dancer, but her sensual beauty and voluptuous figure land her work instead as a showgirl accomplishing everywhere you go from Les Folies Bergere at the Tropicana to the Stardust's Lido de Paris. Wearing costumes dripping with feathers and rhinestones, five-inch heels, and sky-high headdresses, Ruby may have all the looks of a Sin City success account, but she still must figure out how to navigate the world of men - and find out what real love looks like. With her uncanny knack for understanding the invisible lives of women, Elizabeth J. Cathedral captures both iconic extravagance of a time and the bravery of a young girl who dances through her sadness to find interconnection, freedom, and, most important, herself.
