Joan Fortier is the epitome of Texas glamour and the center of the 1950s Houston social scene. Tall, blonde, beautiful, and strong, she dominates the room and the gossip columns. Every man who sees her seems to want her; every woman just wants to be her. But this is a highly ordered world of garden clubs and debutante balls. The money may flow as freely as the oil, but the freedom and power all belong to the men. What happens when a woman of indecorous appetites and desires like Joan wants more? What does it do to her best friend?   Devoted to Joan since childhood, Cece Buchanan is either her chaperone or her partner in crime, depending on whom you ask. But as Joan's radical behavior escalates, Cece's perspective shifts--forcing one provocative choice to appear the only one there is.  A thrilling glimpse into the sphere of the rich and beautiful at a memorable moment in history, The After Party unfurls a story of friendship as obsessive, euphoric, consuming, and complicated as any romance"--cProvided by publisher. 0aUpper class familieszTexasvFiction. 0aDebutanteszTexasvFiction. 0aSocialiteszTexasvFiction. 0aSocial statusvFiction. 7aFICTION / Contemporary Women.2bisacsh 7aFICTION / Family Life.2bisacsh 7aFICTION / Coming of Age.2bisacsh 0aDomestic fiction.423Cover imageu9781594633164.jpg
