In 1950s Los Angeles, Anne Ford was the epitome of the California gold girl, a past beauty queen and model-turned-fashion-designer whose success and elegance were legendary. So how is it possible that such a woman could die in squalor, an alcoholic neighborhood person brutally murdered in a burned-out Western world Hollywood building? In searching for answers to the heartbreaking trajectory of her mother's life, copy writer Laurel Saville plumbed the depths of Anne's stressed past and her own eccentric childhood to untangle the reality of a fantastic, yet tragic, life. What she discovered was a woman who was simply beautiful, well-educated, and talented - yet suffering from internal demons no match for the hedonistic culture of Southern California in the 1960s and 1970s. With unflinching credibility and stirring compassion, Saville explores how everything we bring onward from previous years can shape our very own lives, and exactly how compassion and love for a difficult parent can be a person's bridge to a better life.
