Welcome to Litsy!

In 1959 Cuba, Natalia San Mart�n was nothing short of a princess: sheltered, pampered, and courted by her very own prince, a childhood friend turned lifelong love. All that changed on the fateful New Year's Eve when Fidel Castro and his followers seized control of the country, with tragic consequences for not only the island, but Natalia herself. Five years later, in 1960s New York, she�s known as Natalie Martin�living a life that�s bleak, but thankfully anonymous. However, when the enigmatic Jack Roemer offers her a job writing the memoir of a starlet on the brink of self-destruction, she sees not only opportunity, but unexpected echoes of a fairytale long forgotten. As she knows all too well, however, the prettiest fa�ade can hide the ugliest of truths�and peeling back the layers of someone else�s past forces Natalie to confront her own.
