The front flyleaf reads:

"They were known as 'Our Own Gang': 

together they were out to conquer the Hollywood and the world. A golden generation of the Cordiner dynasty, they were bound by blood ties each believed unseverable - until Alice Hollister came into their lives, a beauty from the wrong side of the tracks with brutal childhood behind her - and a future no one could have predicted.

She became Alyssia del Mar: temptress, goddess, star. Millions of movie fans adored her extravagant allure and irresistible sensuality. But she was always something more: a child of poverty whose desperate need to be loved drove her to the top - and made her the pawn in the Cordiner family's bid for absolute power...Slowly, inexorably, their lives and careers grew intertwined with hers. Barry married her, then lived off her success; Hap love her, but left her; Maxim used her to keep his most terrible secret; she saved PD's life and made him a power in the film industry; and she gave Beth the only thing that Beth wanted. The Cordiners owed her everything; she was the force that kept them together - and ultimately the one that tore them apart...

Moving with the consummate ease of a born story-teller from Californian shanty towns to the lavish estates of Beverly Hills, and from the princely châteaux of the Loire valley to the untamed African veldt, Jacqueline Briskin explores the full range of human love and endurance in this her most spellbinding and passionate novel to date."
