About This Book
SOAP BUBBLES cannot be pigeon-holed into one genre, nor should it be. It's an array of mystery, romance, and legal drama. Often funny, sometimes shocking, Soap Bubbles depicts the glitzy microcosm of TV's daytime drama, where rampant sexuality vies with an almost obscene lust for influence and power. Set during the 60s, 70s and 80s, a whole generation springs to life in this brash, voguish classic by the author of Fifty Cents For Your Soul.
In the tradition of Judith Krantz and Jacqueline Susann, Denise Dietz recounts the tempestuous lives and careers of three ugly ducklings—Delly Diamond, Anissa Cartier and Maryl Bradley. Concealing childhood scars, each duckling-turned-swan learns how to make love, make money, and make believe. Each hopes that the soap opera, Morning Star, will afford an opportunity for the future. Instead, a studio fire and the resultant death of the soap's reviled producer leads to a shattering confrontation with the past, as the book races toward a compelling and totally unexpected climax.
