Artist Rose Delancey exhibits a portrait of her niece at a gallery. The painting attracts the attention of a modeling agency, and the girl is offered a contract. Thus begins a dramatic upheaval of her familiar life: New York City, the fashion industry, new opportunities, and the pressures of an environment where outward success often conceals strict rules.

Alongside, the novel reveals the history of the Delancey family. Old traumas associated with the wartime ghetto continue to influence the decisions and feelings of several generations. The narrative weaves together the drama of coming-of-age, love, and the broader history of the family. Within, it explores beauty, freedom, violence, memory, and the attempt to avoid repeating someone else's fate.
