520    "A striking novel from the acclaimed author of Radio Girls
       about two daring women who escape McCarthy-era Hollywood 
       for London, where they find creative freedom and fight the
       injustices of the Red Scare. Nineteen-fifties America is 
       bright and full of promise, and Phoebe Adler, a New Yorker
       brimming with talent and ambition, is forging her way as 
       the rarest of things: a female television writer in 
       Hollywood. But fears of a growing Red Menace cloud the 
       optimism, egged on by the hate-mongering of Senator 
       McCarthy. A blacklist is created to cast out communist 
       sympathizers, smashing careers and ruining lives. When 
       Phoebe finds herself caught in the hysteria's web, she 
       flees to London. Though postwar London is struggling and 
       work is precarious, Phoebe finds camaraderie with other 
       Americans living in exile, including the restless and 
       ambitious Hannah Wolfson. Determined to fight the 
       injustices of the Red Scare, Hannah is a successful 
       producer who hires blacklisted writers at great risk to 
       her career and company. Together Phoebe and Hannah 
       successfully fight unfair bias and sexism, but danger 
       still looms in this supposed sanctuary. And when their 
       families and friends--their very lives--are threatened, 
       they will have to make impossible choices"--|cProvided by
