书籍简介
一个多代人的传奇故事，穿越了旧好莱坞的魅力和当今演艺界的诱惑，秘密将一个家族的树分成黑人、白人和介于两者之间的东西。当银幕上的白人偶像凯蒂-卡尔-塔特（Kitty Karr Tate）去世并将其数百万美元的遗产遗赠给黑人圣约翰三姐妹时，这引起了一些问题。伊利斯-圣-约翰本身就是一个名人，她宁可专注于整理凯蒂的事务，而不是应付媒体。但她在吉蒂的一本日记中发现的东西比任何其他酝酿中的丑闻都更能震撼她的世界--在一个出轨的未婚夫和一个有争议的社交媒体帖子的影响之间，有很多。凯蒂从吉姆-克罗南方的起点升为明星，其背后的真相有可能暴露出一个意想不到的家庭关系网，欠下的债务和有争议的罪行，只要一拉，就会解开圣约翰姐妹和亲近的人的全美结构。你听说过凯蒂-卡尔吗？这是一个庞大的故事，探讨了名人对妇女的负担以及家庭秘密对后代生活的侵蚀和复杂化的力量。
A multigenerational saga that traverses the glamour of old Hollywood and the seductive draw of present-day showbiz as secrets split a family tree into Black, white, and something in between. When white silver screen icon Kitty Karr Tate dies and bequeaths her multimillion-dollar estate to the three Black St. John sisters, it prompts questions. A celebrity in her own right, Elise St. John would rather focus on sorting out Kitty's affairs than deal with the press. But what she discovers in one of Kitty's journals rocks her world harder than any other brewing scandal could--and between a cheating fiancé and fallout from a controversial social media post, there are plenty. The truth behind Kitty's ascent to stardom from her beginnings in the Jim Crow South threatens to expose a web of unexpected family ties, debts owed, and debatable crimes that could, with one pull, unravel the all-American fabric of the St. John sisters and those closest to them. Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? is a sprawling tale that explores the burdens celebrity places on women and the power that family secrets have to erode and complicate the lives of future generations.
