false 2328841 5 Scarlett is the third of four children in the Martin family. The Martins live in and manage a shabby hotel in NYC that dates back to the 1920s. When Scarlett turns 15, she is put in charge of one of the hotel's 27 rooms- the Empire Suite. Into this room moves Mrs. Amberson, a failed 1970s starlet who has returned to New York to write her memoirs. Soon, Scarlett is taking dictation, running around town with Mrs. Amberson, and getting caught up in her Auntie Mame-meets-Bianca Jagger adventures. <br><br>In the midst of all this, Scarlett falls in love - or so she thinks - and it takes Mrs. Amberson to help her see the light. 2335405 book 1 5 2008 Suite Scarlett total:937|5:216|4:409|3:253|2:47|1:12| 937 3581 1730 237 4 4 false false Sat May 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 07:40:33 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 07:45:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false true Thu Dec 11 16:19:59 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 20:55:36 -0800 2008
