Tara Malone is coming of age in London in the 60s. The Beatles are fab and fashion designers are breaking away from tradition. Tara plans to break away, too, and is counting on her education, talent, looks, and the good fortune of being in the right place at the right time to take her where she wants to go. She faces a world of opportunities in dance, drama, and modelling - a world that also reveals lies, deceit, uninvited sex, violence, drugs, and prostitution. Uncertain, yet hopeful, Tara dares to explore - and quickly discovers that pursuing both a romantic relationship and a passion for the arts is not so easy. Must it be only one or the other? Tara wonders, "Are we still like Jane Austen heroines, looking for a good match or perish?" Through "Excerpts from the Life and Times of Tara Malone," you share Tara's journeys from London to Paris to Broadway and Sweden. Her diary entries enable you to experience a truly unique time and place in history through Tara's eyes, while letters from her family and friends allow you to know Tara as they did. Follow along as she chases her dreams."
