If you are looking for something new and good to read, I would highly suggest American Eve by Paula Uruburu. This is a biography of Evelyn Nesbit and her rise to fame at the high cost of her innocence. Her mother basically sales her daughter to artists and photographers so she can have the high-society life style she's always wanted without having to lift a finger herself. It's truly a story of a little girl trying so hard to buy the affection and admiration of her mother and never quite succeeding.
'Florence Evelyn Nesbit lived more than most in the first 21 years of her early turbulent life then spent the next 60 contending with the myth she had become and helped invent. And reinvent when the occasion presented itself.' 'In those hypocritical years when the scandal she ignited simultaneously shocked and titillated the public, Evelyn attempted to wear her notoriety with tenuous, shrinking dignity, though she barely succeeded in keeping her head above water.'
