Stella Dallas

"She's ambitious, relentless, and unstoppable--but she can't hide the stain of her working class roots. A woman big enough for both Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Midler, Stella Dallas is one of the most memorable characters of the modern era. A bestseller in its time, Stella Dallas is a terrific read today"--
