Description

From the Dust Jacket
Beverly Thysons extraordinary rise in the ruthless world of women’s fashion astonishes everyone — including herself. But her personal life (including a failed marriage and an exciting but unfulfilling affair) makes Bev feel she is lacking as a woman. Using all of her strength and intuition to reach the very pinnacle of success, she is still constantly searching for love. Public Smiles, Private Tears is not only Bevs story — it is the story of an entire generation of women who find themselves in a world where traditional standards and assumptions no longer work. There is Ruth who followed the rules, Marion who broke them, and Sylvia who created her own. Here too are the men who loved them, used them, worshiped them from afar, hurt them —and sometimes left them. Helen Van Slyke draws upon her own experience in the glittering world of the powerful to tell a fascinating story of the people she knows so well: their successes and failures, their triumphs and tragedies, their public smiles and their private tears.
