Review: American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee

American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee by Karen Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought I knew the story of Gypsy Rose Lee, at least the highlights. Turns out I knew nothing! Karen Abbott has a way of giving life to her subjects that goes beyond your normal history book. It almost reads like fiction, but you know Ms. Abbott did her homework. Not many people may still remember the name Gypsy Rose Lee, but Ms. Abbott reminds us of why she shouldn't be forgotten.
