About this item
Nominated as BOOK OF THE MONTH by Discovering Diamonds: “A rare, glittering read that traps you and doesn't let go… Emotional, gripping and utterly rewarding…”
Selected as an INDIE BOOK WE LOVE by LoveReading: “Grabs your attention from page one…”
"I wasn't looking for Marilyn Monroe when I bumped into her, even though I knew she was in town filming River of No Return…" So begins In a Town Called Paradox, a sweeping coming-of-age love story set during the Golden Age of Hollywood
After her mother's sudden death, teenage Corin Dunbar is banished from New York to live with her aunt Jessie, who runs a failing cattle ranch near Paradox, a dusty speck of a town in Utah. Alone and adrift, Corin thinks her life is over — until the Big Five Hollywood studios arrive, lured by the fiery red-rock scenery that forms the perfect backdrop for their blockbuster movies.
Overnight, Paradox is transformed from a rural backwater into a playground for glamorous stars like Marilyn Monroe, Rock Hudson and Paul Newman.
Seduced by the glitz, Corin lands a job with the studios. But after a brush with the casting couch, she channels her ambition into saving the ranch — the last, crumbling legacy of the Dunbar family.
When she falls for a mysterious stranger, her future seems bright. But a tragic accident shatters her dreams and forces her to make an agonizing decision — one she can navigate only with the help of an unlikely ally: a Native American war hero now on the run from prison.
Told by Corin – looking back on her remarkable life – In a Town Called Paradox is a compelling story of ambition, heartbreak, the family secrets that shape us, and the forgiveness that can set us free.
