Public Smiles, Private Tears

More about the book

She was a radiant bride. In the spring of 1946, Beverly Thyson stood beside her handsome young husband confident that she would have it all…home, family—and the career most women were denied. But the turbulent years ahead would bring hard truths and agonizing choices. Her own complex needs would sweep her into the arms of the man who could offer her everything—but love. Her own talent and ambition would propel her to the very pinnacle of success in the ruthless world of high fashion. Through tragedy and triumph, through failure and success, she would learn what it really means for a woman to get what she wants…to have everything—everything but the one thing her heart most desires.
