THE SWANSTHE ORIGINAL SERIES BASED ON THE BESTSELLING BOOKNOW AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON HULU!New York Times bestselling author Laurence Leamer reveals the complex web of relationships and scandalous true stories behind Truman Capote's never-published final novel, Answered Prayersthe dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his 'swans.''There are certain women,' Truman Capote wrote, 'who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich.'

Capote befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and shocking way possible.Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1958 and In Cold Blood in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer's block.
