From Boston Globe/Horn Book Award-winning author Brandy Colbert comes the story of four generations of a Hollywood family--an unforgettable tale of ambition, fame, struggle, loss, and love in America.
Weaving together the narratives of Hollis, Ardith, and Blossom, award-winning author Brandy Colbert tells an unforgettable story set in an America where everything is personal, and nothing is private..
But as a family secret comes to light and the pressures from all sides begin to mount, she wonders what is left beneath the face she shows the world.
Ever since, she has worked to be everything her family, her church, and the public want her to be.
A television star since childhood, she was perhaps closer with Blossom than anyone--especially after Ardith\'s mother died in a drug overdose.
Ardith Blackwood has always lived in the public eye.
When private photos of Hollis are leaked in the wake of Blossom\'s death, she is thrust into the spotlight she\'s long avoided--and finds that trust may be a luxury even she can\'t afford.
Still, she\'s surrounded by it, whether at home with her family or at the prestigious Dupree Academy among Los Angeles\' elite.
Hollis Blackwood was never interested in fame.
And when she passes away, it changes everything.
To her great-granddaughters, Hollis and Ardith, she has always just been Bebe .
Blossom Blackwood burst onto the silver screen in 1962, and in the decades that followed, she would become one of the most celebrated actors of our time--and the matriarch of the most famous Black family in Hollywood.
Everyone knows their name.
The Blackwoods.
