The Incredible Transformations of Alice Hollywood Djuna Shellam

Roommates Alice Hollywell, the young spitfire from Hollywood, and her best friend, the poor little rich girl Em Martín from nearby Bel Air, CA, are stationed together on a remote Air Force base in West Texas in the mid-1970s. Worldly Alice "Hollywood" is notorious for changing "teams" without notice. Em is shy, seemingly sheltered, but... she has a secret-she's in love with Alice. Despite their differences, their friendship blossoms into something unexpected. The arrest of their friend Whitey, and rumors about an investigation into his friends and associates creates a frightening environment, complicating everything. On base, and particularly within their inner circle, the atmosphere becomes rife with suspicion and fear. Finding themselves caught up in a rabid witch-hunt, Alice and Em realize the military is a dangerous place for them. Decisions are made with disastrous consequences. "Alice Hollywood" is a bonafide page-turner, leading the reader down a road of "what's next" and through myriad subplots, making this multi-dimensional story and its equally dimensional characters a reader's delight. Once you begin, you won't want to stop-especially after the last line. But, worry not-there's much more to come. "The Incredible Transformations of Alice Hollywood" is Book One of The Em Suite Series.
