Journey to the stars

In New York, you can get lost in the crowd. At least, that's what Gloria Downing is desperately hoping for as she tries to rediscover herself after a devastating family scandal. Ready for a complete life change and longing for a friend she can lean on, a young, idealistic woman named Estée Lauder enters her life. Their chance encounter will change Gloria's life forever.
Estée dreams of success and becoming a household name like Elizabeth Arden, Helena Rubinstein or Revlon. Before Gloria knows it, she's swept up in her new friend's mission. As Estée impulsively throws herself into the world of business, Gloria begins to discover her own talents. After landing a job at Saks Fifth Avenue, New York's most luxurious department store, Gloria finds her place, which proves crucial in opening doors for Estée's insatiable ambitions.
However, in a world unaccustomed to powerful women, both will have to pay a high price for the courage to live life on their own terms and refuse to back down.
