Lucia Sartori is the beautiful twenty-five-year-old daughter of a prosperous Italian grocer in Greenwich Village. The postwar boom is ripe with opportunities for talented girls with ambition, and Lucia becomes an apprentice to an up-and-coming designer at chic B. Altman&#8217;s department store on Fifth Avenue. Engaged to her childhood sweetheart, the steadfast Dante DeMartino, Lucia is torn when she meets a handsome stranger who promises a life of uptown luxury that career girls like her only read about in the society pages. Forced to choose between duty to her family and her own dreams, Lucia finds herself in the midst of a sizzling scandal in which secrets are revealed, her beloved career is jeopardized, and the Sartoris&#8217; honor is tested.<br><br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i> 1319726 2003 Lucia, Lucia total:2530|5:552|4:1023|3:752|2:169|1:34| 2530 9480 3137 356 60057 0345472446 9780345472441 2372 338 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170538008m/60057.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60057.Lucia_Lucia 5 2 false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 10:16:27 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 14:24:48 -0700 2008
