Riassunto

It is 1912 and Grace Lampley has returned to St. Louis to work as a clerk in a real estate office. Ever wary of romance, she enjoys a single life in the city's parks, nickelodeons and dance halls. That is, until she meets Ray, who has come out from New York to manage a new theatre. She is captivated by his tenderness and sweetness and awed by the glamorous company he keeps, so she accepts his proposal of marriage. Grace's demons of self-doubt nearly destroy the marriage, but it survives a move to New York. Ray is promoted and Grace goes to work for theatre mogul, Jacob J. Shubert. Her world explodes with excitement and she gradually emerges to full awareness of her strength and identity. She also begins to recognize her hidden desires and to act on them. Grace and Ray blossom until war separates them. Will the war end soon enough?...

L'autore:

Weldon B. Durham lives in Covington, Georgia. This author, actor, stage director and theatre historian studied theatre at San Jose State University and at the University of Iowa, and he taught theatre at the University of Arkansas and the University of Missouri. He was inducted into the College of Fellows of the American Theatre in 1998. The Grace Sextet grew out of research into the theatrical business practices of Lee and Jacob J. Shubert.

But shortly after Grace came on the scene she became the star of the show and the Shuberts became but one of her many stepping stones in traversing a tumultuous life....
