Kit Corrigan leaves her Rhode Island home for New York City. She wants to see if she can make it as a singer and a dancer. City life is hard and when you are not dancing on Broadway money can be tight.
Kit had been involved with Billy Benedict-a boy from back home who has recently enlisted in the army. A huge fight shatters their relationship and that's what makes her head to the big city.
Once there, she struggles to make ends meet. In comes her savior and benefactor, Billy's father-Nate Benedict. He is a lawyer for the mob and his connections to them runs deep and tight. He offers Kit an apartment. Her obligation is now to Nate and he wants her to contact him after she contacts Billy and reconciles.
Kit and Billy reconcile but it is her ties to Nate that will once again drive them apart. Consequently we see her struggles with her job, her personal life, and her family.
An interesting story that takes place during World War II. It will intrigue readers and keep their attention. For anyone who liked "What I Saw and How I Lied" pick this up in March 2011 when it becomes available.
