I'm curious about how it can handle the deep issues of the book.

I hope to watch the silent movie soon it's on YouTube. No, through the course of the book, Mem does consider some men, but in the end, she is empowered and refuses to settle for anyone. Something I loved about this book was that, in the end, this was not a book about Remember finding a man who understands and forgives her for her past sin, and marries her in a Happily Ever After. Of course, Remember botches this plan in wince-worthy ways, but eventually she ends up as a new Hollywood star. Her town doctor, a stalwart ally, encourages her to head west, contrive a fake marriage and a soon-dead husband, so she can return to her small southern town with her reputation intact. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Remember is in melodramatic circumstances at the start she's a preacher's daughter, pregnant out of wedlock, and her baby's father is killed in a tragic accident. Souls for Sale - Kindle edition by Hughes, Rupert. I didn't expect a book from this time to portray a woman's circumstances this well, or to so thoughtfully consider the morality issues around Hollywood and conservative churchs' view of it. While it does feel slow and overwritten in parts-especially at the beginning-Remember Steddon is a fantastic character to follow. I started to read this for research, thinking I would skim through, but I was pleasantly surprised. This book was a bestseller in the 1920s and was made into a silent movie as well.
