Her name is Estée Lauder, and she’s about to take the world by storm, in this dazzling new novel from the USA Today bestselling author of The Social Graces and Park Avenue Summer.

More About the Book: In New York City, you can disappear into the crowd. At least that’s what Gloria Downing desperately hopes for as she tries to reinvent herself after a devastating family scandal. She’s ready for a total life makeover and a friend she can lean on, and into her path walks a young, idealistic woman named Estée. Their chance encounter will change Gloria’s life forever.
 
Estée dreams of success and becoming a household name like Elizabeth Arden, Helena Rubinstein, and Revlon. Before Gloria knows it, she is swept up in her new friend’s mission, and while Estée rolls up her sleeves, Gloria begins to discover her own talents. After landing a job at Saks Fifth Avenue, New York’s finest luxury department store, Gloria finds her voice, which proves instrumental in opening doors for Estée’s insatiable ambitions. But in a world unaccustomed to women with power, they’ll each have to reckon with the price that comes from daring to live life on their own terms and refusing to back down.
 
Lynn Cullen, national bestselling author of The Woman with the Cure, says “Renée Rosen tells a page-turning story of resilience and self-determination even as she brings a household name to life. Through fascinating detail and heartfelt empathy, she illuminates Estée Lauder’s determined rise to be the woman she always wanted to be. An inspiration for us all.”
