Main Line Maverick Sally Gibbs

Main Line Maverick, with fast-paced dialogue, humor and complex characters, creates a realistic drama describing the struggles of being individualistic in a conformist society. The setting is suburban Philadelphia's Main Line, pre-World War II and subsequent years. It tells the life of Brenda Marr, a Main Line debutante who kicks the stuffy social scene for the theatre as a singing showgirl in a Broadway musical. Her maverick nature leads her into various romantic adventures, the New York nightlife and literary world, of entanglement with a literary agent and of her marriage to a dashing, hard drinking, abusive Naval test pilotall against the wishes of her over possessive Mother. Main Line Maverick is a 'must read' for anyone who has desired to go against the grain and to discover their own place in the world.
