In 1920, Elsa Emerson, the youngest and blondest of three sisters, is born in Door County, Wisconsin. Married in her teens, she flees to Los Angeles and is discovered by one of the most powerful executives in Hollywood. Refashioned as an exotic brunette and renamed Laura Lamont, she experiences all the glamour of stardom. But ultimately, her story is a timeless one of a woman trying to balance career, family, and personal happiness.
