One Dance In Paris
Julia Holden
Linda Stone barely remembers her mother. But she's about to
go from knowing precious little about her to
oh-so-blushingly much...
What if you just learned that your mother was a
famousand infamousinternational showgirl? That
she wore a tall headdress of rhinestones and peacock
feathers. Glittering high-heeled sandals. And a dress... a
dress unlike anything you've ever seen: barely there,
beautiful and shocking, simultaneously sexual and like
something out of a fairy tale. A sensual whisper of a dress
that gave her the power to become the talk of the town, the
queen of Paris, the star of the Folies Bergre.
All her life, Linda Stone has felt awkward and out of
placemotherless and friendless, long-legged and
small-busted, standing head and shoulders taller than her
curvy classmates. Then one day a mysterious package arrives,
with clues about her mother's past, and about Linda's own
future. If her motherLinda's mirror imagecould
spark passionate fires in hosts of handsome men, what about
Linda? Does she dare to break away from her aimless
existence and slip on her mother's showgirl gown, to step
into those sparkling shoes, and to dance her own dance?
