Summary Told from multiple points of view, Ardith and Hollis Blackwood's lives are upended when their great-grandmother, legendary actress Blossom Blackwood, passes away, and family secrets emerge.
Blossom Blackwood burst onto the silver screen in 1962, and became one of the most celebrated actors of our time-- and the matriarch of the most famous Black family in Hollywood. To her great-granddaughters, Hollis and Ardith, she has always just been Bebe. Hollis Blackwood was never interested in fame, despite being surrounded by it at home with her family or at the prestigious Dupree Academy among Los Angeles' elite. Ardith Blackwood was a television star since childhood; after her mother died in a drug overdose, she worked to be everything her family, her church, and the public want her to be. When Blossom passes away, a family secret comes to light and pressures from all sides begin to mount. In the spotlight, trust becomes a luxury. - adapted from jacket
