The Goddess

Emily Ann Faulkner is born into poverty in Southern United States, has no father, no friends, and is unloved by her indifferent mother, who does not want to be tied down by a child. When Emily Ann becomes a teenager, she remains a loner but has a sensual sexuality that attracts boys. She marries young but leaves her first husband, a world-weary G.I. (military), John Tower, for Hollywood.
