Roaring Twenties. Kansas City. One woman's transformative journey of love, betrayal, and redemption.
From the day Jean Ball lands a job at the elegant
Empire hotel, she quickly learns the secrets of the entitled class. Dazzled by
a Roaring Twenties society on the cusp of radical change, this naive and
innocent young woman finds herself dancing, bobbing her hair, and falling for
Elden Whitcomb, the handsome son of the wealthy hotel owner. The stakes rise
when the Whitcombs’ powerful secrets are revealed and loving Elden comes at a
price – one that may be too high for Jean to pay.
Shattered and alone, Jean's in the battle of her life in a city alive with romance, smoky speakeasies, jazz music and scandal, but divided by race and class. With the help and encouragement of influential women, Jean may find what she has always needed, though her choices could echo through generations. But will the man she trusted and so fiercely loves redeem himself?

innocent young girl to a self-assured woman, making her way in a society in

united to urge social advances, the jazz culture was born, baseball's famous
Negro League was formed, and the city had a burgeoning Prohibition bootleg
trade. Featured locations include Kansas City's Petticoat Lane, Swope Park, the
Emery Bird Thayer Dry Goods Company, the Savoy Grill, and the prestigious
