CROWNED HEADS takes us into the interlocking lives of four film stars. First we meet Fedora, longest-reigning beauty of them all. Sexy Lorna comes next. We find her in a secluded resort trying to heal herself after many jobs, many men, and much trouble. Bobbitt is a former kiddie star now in his thirties and still "adorable." And Willie, for decades a worldwide symbol of elegance and wit, is alone in his Hollywood showplace mourning his past until the future breaks in.

From the bookflap: It is summertime, 1938. At the Bible camp called Friend-Indeed, nestled among tall pines on the shores of Moonbow Lake, the teenage boys of the cabin called Jeremiah and their counselors, Reece Hartsig- a hero to the camp for his prowess as an athlete and a heart-breaker- eagerly await the arrivl of a new camper. He is to replace the homesick bedwetter whose presence for the first two weeks of the season has cost the cabin its traditional place of honor as the best of the best-holder of more trophies, winner of more prizes (mostly Bibles) than any other . But instead of the all-round camper and great ballplayer they have hoped for, what they get is Leo Joaquim, a mysterious orphan who is a prodigy on the violin, who collects spders, who throws a ball like a girl...whose very presence upsets the time-honored rhythms of camp life.
