Have you ever dreamt of running away? Or performing on Broadway? It seems many girls have, but Kit Corrigan actually does. It’s the 1950s and she’s had enough of her dad. She leaves her home in Providence to succeed in New York City. The only problem is it’s a lot harder to make it in The Big Apple than one would think. Big breaks don’t just appear—just like how Kit’s heart can’t just heal.

Not only has the city proven to be un-accepting, but Kit is still hung up on her long-lasting relationship with Billy. They were going to marry, until he suddenly joined the army. Now Billy’s father has called in a favor, which really becomes a great deal of help to Kit. Is there a catch? Can anything work out with Billy, or will Kit break her promise to his dad? Judy Blundell, who wrote What I Saw and How I Lied, will have you captured in the 50s and imagining yourself on stage just like Kit in her latest book Strings Attached (available now).
