"The strange relationship of a mother and her son is the underlying theme of this unusual novel." It begins with the death of the mother, Marya, and then tells the story of her son Edgell's self-discovery through an exploration of her life's path "from a sordid first marriage in a dismal Chicago flat, to wealth and splendor as the wife of the millionaire John Shields, to divorce over infidelity, and a period of lavish salon hospitality to Hollywood's great, [ultimately leading] to the loneliness of an ended era and the desperation of alcoholism. Her life hadn't been a fling; it had been a wild ride, involving terrible extravagance, murder, scandal and neglect of the child Edgell." Presnell was a radio, TV and movie writer, whose only published novel this was; his wife was actress Marsha Hunt, to whom the book is dedicated.
