A really nicely written book about 3 women who meet as children and remain friends even though one "turns out" and then goes to Hollywood and becomes a famous star, while the other 2 marry their childhood sweethearts and stay in their small town. They are always there for each other. A story of growing up, war, love, and most of all enduring friendship: Whippy Bird, Effa Commander and MayAnna Kovaks (aka Marion Street) - BFF, in today's lingo.

Follow the lives of May Anna, Buster, Toney, Whippy Bird, Effa Commander and others as they go through life. This is Effa Commander's story in order to set the story straight about May Anna and Buster. This novel contains the deep bonds of friendship, fame, death, heart ache and strenght. It is set in Butte, Montant during the Prohibition-era. Great read.

I just loved this book about three lifetime girlfriends. A fun, lively story I would recommend to anyone. The book just proves that husbands and boyfriends come and go, but a girlfriend is forever! An easy, fun read. I just ordered another of Sandra Dallas' books. Hope it is as good as this one! Genny

From the back of the book: In a rich, wonderful novel that reaches from a forgotten rural America to a dazzling Hollywood of the 1940's and 50's, Sandra Dallas spins a moving tale of a circle of friends, a shared past, and an act of violence that shattered innocence forever.
