Banished From Memory
Description
Dianna Fletcher is famous for her roles as a child actress and for her status as the daughter of two award-winning actors. But the bright lights of 1960's Hollywood, to which she's been accustomed for all sixteen years of her life, are casting shadows.
Her greatest fear is that she is losing her talent and failing to live up to her family's legacy. When she does land a part, she finds an unexpected enemy in brilliant actor and womanizer Bill Royce, who not only attacks her confidence but holds a deep grudge against her family. Dianna comes to believe that Bill's resentment is related to her suspicion that her parents harbor a secret linked to the Hollywood blacklist, in which the lives and names of film artists were erased from history.
Bill's and Dianna's initial distrust and mutual loathing give way to respect, then a deep friendship -- and perhaps something more-but only if they can keep long-buried secrets from tearing them apart. In the meantime, fighting for roles in a changing Hollywood, Dianna uncovers the strength of her own talents. As the tangled family secrets unravel, and as Dianna risks her relationship with Bill to understand his dark past, can she also find the courage to use her talents for good, risking the possibility that she and those she loves will also be banished from memory?
