From Paris in the 1920s to London after the Blitz, two women find that a secret from their past reverberates through years of joy and sorrow.... As recovery from World War II begins, expat American Nora Tours travels from her home in southern France to London in search of her missing sixteen-year-old daughter. There, she unexpectedly meets up with an old acquaintance, famous model-turned-photographer Lee Miller. Neither has emerged from the war unscathed. Nora is racked with the fear that her efforts to survive under the Vichy regime may have cost her daughter’s life. Lee suffers from what she witnessed as a war correspondent photographing the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps. Nora and Lee knew each other in the heady days of late 1920s Paris, when Nora was giddy with love for her childhood sweetheart, Lee became the celebrated mistress of the artist Man Ray, and Lee’s magnetic beauty drew them all into the glamorous lives of famous artists and their wealthy patrons. But Lee fails to realize that her friendship with Nora is even older, that it goes back to their days as children in Poughkeepsie, New York, when a devastating trauma marked Lee forever. Will Nora’s reunion with Lee give them a chance to forgive past betrayals…and break years of silence to forge a meaningful connection as women who have shared the best and the worst that life can offer? A novel of freedom and frailty, desire and daring, The Beautiful American portrays the extraordinary relationship between two passionate, unconventional women. Readers Guide Included

A book entitled "The Ugly American" was written by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick and published in 1958. It became a bestseller. Many, particularly foreigners who were envious of America's leadership role and its phenomenal success as a young and prosperous nation, relished the rebuking and ridiculing meted out to Americans by the authors of this publication. Maybe some of the negative publicity heaped upon certain Americans was deserved. Maybe we carried the exhibition of our pride and proudness a bit too far. But, perhaps part of the negative perceptions foreigners had of Americans in the past were perceptions of writers and authors like those who wrote "The Ugly American." The negative image of Americans may have been induced by others wishing to be the proud inhabitants of the "Land of Opportunity," America. However, this is speculation and not a verified true fact, but common sense dictates that this speculation be considered because envy probably plays a great, maybe dominant role in the anti-American attitude prevalent today in much of the world. Be that as it may, it's time for the truth to be told regarding the heart and soul of Americans. Negative images stick, whether fact or fiction and this is a common and well-known fact. It seems like there is a tendency on the part of too many people to rejoice in the negative aspects of human existence and ignore the positive things. Sort of like the paraphrasing of a song title, "We often accentuate the negative and eliminate the positive." This tendency is also demonstrated by the poet or author who wrote, "The good things people do are interred with their bones, while the evil things they do live on long after they are gone." These sayings convey the concept that people tend to remember the negative things people do while forgetting, all too quickly, the positive things they do. It seems that America has fallen victim to this trend. America's credits emanate from a unique character and noble intentions regarding many important issues: Education, Sex and Race Discrimination; Civil Rights; Politics, Economics and Other Social Concerns. The intent of this book is to expound on America's achievements in providing each of its citizens with a comfortable life in an equitable manner. Accomplishing this purpose is a difficult task and a positive and distinguishing challenge in the development of America. The essence of the American character is its emphasis on the welfare of its citizens. It is a great and noble effort to undertake the prodigious task of providing a decent living and equal opportunity for each American. It is gratifying to know that America's efforts to achieve comfort and equity in its citizens' lives have been more than superficial. The striving for personal convenience and equity must be continued because the goals have not been reached. But it is comforting to Americans to know they have a government and citizens that are willing to continue the struggle for equity and good lives for Americans against staggering odds and what often appear to be insurmountable obstacles. But to American citizens it is rewarding to know that America and its citizens will settle for nothing less than equal opportunity and a good life for each of its citizens irrespective of age, race, color, sex, religion, national origin, handicap, or economic station in life. It is laudable that America is concerned about those citizens who some may have considered outcasts, who do not belong and do not deserve any attention. The greatness of America is its soul, its humanness, its spirit of equity and love for its citizens. These characteristics are the essence of the American spirit. In some instances these characteristics are misrepresented. The authors of "The Ugly American" cautioned American representatives abroad to conduct themselves in a manner more of a manifestation of the American spirit and purpose of American foreign policy.

"This project is the first comprehensive study of a phenomenon that not only dominated the American arts of the 1870s and 1880s, but also helped set the course of such later developments in the United States as the Arts and Crafts movement, the indigenous interpretation of Art Nouveau, and even the rise of modernism. In fact, the early history of the Metropolitan--its founding, its sponsorship of a school of industrial design, and its display of decorative works--is inextricably tied to the Aesthetic movement and its educational goals. "In Pursuit of Beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement" comprised some 175 objects including furniture, metalwork, stained glass, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, painting, and sculpture. Some of these had rarely been displayed; others, although familiar, were being shown in new and even startling contexts. The exhibition and catalogue are arranged thematically to illustrate both the major styles of a visually rich movement and the ideas that generated its diversity"--From publisher's description.
