The Brink of Fame

"The early days of American cinema come vividly to life in this delightful new series." —Publishers Weekly on The Edge of Ruin

In early 1913, Emily Daggett Weiss – now the co-proprietor of a very successful film production company – travels to Arizona from Ft. Lee, New Jersey, to the set of their latest production. Only to find that everything has gone horribly wrong – her husband, their film, and their company are all wrapped up in a terrible bind that threatens their livelihood, their marriage, and their freedom. Film tycoon Carl Laemmle comes to her rescue with a job offer directing a film in Hollywood, provided she can track down and bring back Laemmle's own missing star actor. . .
