All the Beautiful Girls by Elizabeth Church

Lilly did not have an easy life after her parents died and she was raised by her strict aunt and too familiar uncle. The only escape she had was dance and her benefactor, the man who felt responsible for the car accident that took away her family. It wasn't too much of a stretch when she ran off to dance in Las Vegas. This was the height of Vegas glamour with all the shine - The Rat Pack, the never ending lights of the strip and the non-stop party life. So Lilly had to make some hard decisions about what kind of dancing she was going to do. It was not the dance future that Lilly had envisioned but it was one that Ruby Wilde would make famous. Hard hitting, this book does not sugarcoat her experiences and bad choices nor does it make a judgement on the tough choices that she and others like her made. Wonderful historical fiction that makes you feel the lights of the stage, the noise from the casino and the feeling that young lives were made or broken in an instant.
