Living in SoCal and only 15 min away from Laguna Beach, this book grabbed my attention. The historical fiction is set post war when women are struggling to find work as men are back from the war. Hazel moved to California looking for a job and ends up working as a model for Hanson Radcliff. 

The story is about Hazel's ability to make it out in California and how by working with Radcliff, she finds herself and creates new friendships. 

The added element of mystery and romance added so much to the story too. 

Thank you @stmartinspress for a copy of this book.
