In "The Hidden Life of Aster Kelly," Katherine A. Sherbrooke explores the dark and secretive side of "golden age" Hollywood and what it demanded to keep its stars in the spotlight. After winning a design competition, Aster is sent on a tour across the country, but can't find a designer willing to apprentice her until she meets Fernando, an up-and-coming California designer catching the eye of Hollywood studios and stars. Aster and Fernando soon become entangled with high-profile men from one of the biggest studios, but the weight of expectations and secrecy threaten them both. Decades later, Aster's daughter is looking for her big Broadway break, and when she makes a shocking decision, years of secrets tumble out.
