Publisher's Summary

Gramma was a showgirl, and under her direction, child prodigy Kaleigh McKenna hones her many talents. She sings! She dances! She plays a half-dozen instruments! 

As a teenager, Gramma takes her to Hollywood. With the aid of Gramma’s old friends in the business, Kaleigh lands a contract at Warner Brothers Studios, where she works with stars like Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, and Olivia de Havilland. Everything changes on December 7, 1941. Instead of making movies, Kaleigh gives her heart to the United Service Organization...and to the mysterious man who organizes the camp shows. 

She’s soon doing her act for American soldiers and sailors on dangerous fronts from North Africa to the South Pacific. It proves to be a wild ride, with bombings, blood, and heartbreak. When she left sunny California, Kaleigh hoped to hold the troops affections. On her tours, she sometimes finds herself holding their very lives in her hands.
