A Lovereading4kids 'Great Read' you may have missed 2011 selection.
Corruption and glamour run side by side in this beautifully written and deeply moving story of how a young girl gets caught up in a situation which gets seriously out of control from the author of the critically acclaimed What I saw and how I lied. Leaving home for the bright lights of New York, all Kit Corrigan wants is to be on the stage. She can act, sing, dance and she’s willing to do any of them if it gets her a role.
But life in the theatre is hard and when her old boy-friend’s father offers her an apartment, she accepts. Soon Kit finds that there are strings attached; rashly she does a few favours for her benefactor and, as his crimes get bigger, she soon finds her life is spiralling out of control. Through a series of flashbacks interspersed with stories of the present, Kit tells her own story with a mixture of surprise and dismay as secrets from her past unfold.
Kit Corrigan has always dreamed of being a star. But in order to get there, she needs to break up with Billy, who''s going to Korea, and leave her family behind in Providence, RI, to move to New York City. She finds small roles, and a hard city to live in.
