In the enter­tain­ment world, the spot­light shines on the beau­ti­ful — but behind the scenes are those who make the mag­ic hap­pen. Amy Greene is one of them. As head of mar­ket­ing and pub­lic rela­tions at the Cin­e­ma Chan­nel, a beloved yet strug­gling cable net­work, Amy is at the height of her career, and torn between work, fam­i­ly, and the secrets she’s kept locked away. A daz­zling cin­e­mat­ic nov­el about love, loss, and the search for mean­ing in work, fam­i­ly, and the spaces in between. Those spaces include her Jew­ish fam­i­ly, her obses­sion with clas­sic movie stars, par­tic­u­lar­ly ones of the Jew­ish faith, and her brush­es with anti­semitism in the imme­di­ate after­math of 9/11 (the 25th anniver­sary of 9/11 is in 2026).
