What is this book about?
Lace. Rivals. Lucky. Valley of the Dolls. And now Climbing in Heels…
Beanie, Mercedes and Ella – a Valley Girl from LA, an English rose-with-thorns and a Kentucky blueblood, each denying their past while creating a future – together storm the boys’ club that is the hottest talent agency in 1980s Hollywood. A riveting story of friendship, betrayal and survival, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas’s debut novel is a rollicking tale of sex, drugs and power.
How did they get to the top? They climbed. In heels.
