From the Midwest through Chicago and Hollywood, we follow a path strewn with scandals, jealousies, triangles, and betrayals. Throw in arson, a still-unsolved murder, and even the Feds and the Mafia, and you have an exciting, bumpy journey that leaves more than one casualty in its wake. And Maybelline was along for the ride.
The characters seem larger than life, yet somehow remain vulnerable and sympathetic. This is a family that continually grasped at the shiny ring, only to discover that it might be no more than their own reflections staring back—sometimes accusingly—from the mirror.
The legacy is in good hands with Ms. Williams. She’s a true storyteller who writes with passion and candor, while bluntly sharing her own resolve to rise above her family’s lifelong mantra of money, beauty, and the search for perfection.
It’s a critical but tender tale of redemption that displays understanding, compassion, and love for her family. She never gave up on her dream of telling this story and literally braved fire and fury to share it with the world.
It’s a book you really can’t put down—a true page-turner. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
You’ll never look at a Maybelline ad again without feeling a tug of empathy for these characters and their struggles—and for the determination of one man whose effort to capture beauty on a brush changed forever the color palette of the world.
