Freshly fired and on the run from rehab, Jaycee Grayson is a kids’ entertainment exec with no filter and nothing to lose who’s about to turn Littleburgh, Wisconsin inside out on a no-holds-barred search for the truth behind the pastel perfection of “Wonderful Girls,” the world-famous doll company.
Confronted with a tangled web of secrets, power plays, and Prairie Karens, Jaycee isn’t here to play nice. She’s here to uncover the myth of the “Wonderful Girl”—who made it and who profits from it? In Littleburgh, nothing is as it seems—not the town, not the legend, and definitely not the women running the show. Jaycee Grayson’s quest for identity will have you laughing, gasping, and cheering through every twist in a sharp, satirical literary debut that skewers hypocrisy and celebrates authenticity with one foot in chaos and the other in courage.
From Hollywood to the heartland, this audacious literary thrill ride offers up stiletto-sharp wit, misfit mayhem, and scathing commentary on what it really means to be “empowered” as Jaycee shines a harsh light on performative feminism and corporate fairy tales. Don’t miss an all-new literary adventure that’s as fearless as its heroine.
