Hosted by the Webb City Public LibraryPresented by Debra White and Vicki Bibb
Join us for a discussion on An American Beauty by Shana Abé.
When a railroad baron falls for a uniform girl at a gambling parlor thirty years his junior, he moves her to New York, posing as a well-heeled Southern widow where her shrewd investing instincts build her a fortune.
This sweeping novel of historical fiction is inspired by the true rags-to-riches story of Arabella Huntington—a woman whose great beauty was surpassed only by her exceptional business acumen, grit, and artistic eye, and who defied the constraints of her era to become the wealthiest self-made woman in America.
