<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Desiring a more meaningful life, socialite cover girl Veronica Ferris escapes to Katmandu to join the Free Tibet movement. When tragedy occurs as a result of a cultural misunderstanding, Veronica must draw upon her inner strength and spirit to find her way home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Maura Moynihan's first novel, <em>Covergirl</em>, blends reality and fiction in a brilliant and exciting roman à clef that draws richly from the author's own adventures as a Warhol Girl and from her many years of working with Tibetan refugees in Asia. </p><p>Meet Veronica Ferris, the daughter of an imperious socialite and a kindly but absent diplomat. Fresh out of college, Veronica lands in Manhattan in pursuit of romance, disco, and rock 'n' roll--an arrival that threatens to usurp her mother's ambitious assault on New York high society. Maintaining her double life as a talented partygoer and a bearer of the esteemed Ferris family name is a high-wire act that requires far more cunning and restraint than young Veronica initially realizes. With its unforgettable heroine and wry, highly entertaining voice, <em>Covergirl</em> is at once a poignant coming-of-age tale, a delightful social satire, and a vibrant modern-day odyssey.</p>
