This is a fictionalized version of how Mary Pickford became the queen of Hollywood, partly due to Frances Marion, one of the most famous early screenwriters. The book follows them from the first silent movies, through World War I, and all the way to "talkies" becoming popular. While the conversations and motivations have been invented by the author, she keeps in enough historical detail to tell how the women's lives really played out.
