Shivering and in shock, Evie Grace Devlin watches the Starlite Palace burn into the sea and wonders how she became a person who would cause a man to kill himself. She'd come to Galveston to escape a dark past in vaudeville and become a good person, a nurse. When that dream is cruelly thwarted, Evie is swept into the alien world of dance marathons. All that she has been denied--a family, a purpose, even love--waits for her there in the place she dreads most: the spotlight. Last Dance on the Starlight Pier is a sweeping novel that brings to spectacular life the enthralling worlds of both dance marathons and the family-run empire of vice that was Galveston in the Thirties. Unforgettable characters tell a story that is still deeply resonant today as America learns what Evie learns, that there truly isn't anything this country can't do when we do it together. That indomitable spirit powers a story that is a testament to the deep well of resilience in us all that allows us to not only survive the hardest of hard times, but to find joy, friends, and even family, in them"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Bird Checked In Add Copy to MyList
