Although she was told the rooms were empty, a dazed, sleepy woman appears before her. This is Mrs. Miller, aka Marilyn Monroe, whose stay in Reno coincides with the breakdown of her marriage to Arthur Miller and the filming of what was to be her last film, The Misfits.

This is a Hollywood tale with heart." ―Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The View from Lake Como
