The Death of A Showgirl

The Death of A Showgirl

Twyla Forsti has lived her entire life under the lights. To the world, she is untouchable - a glittering showgirl, a headline, a voice that can stop a stadium cold. But behind the sequins and choreography lies a woman unraveling, caught between heartbreak, reinvention, and the relentless demands of an audience that refuses to let her breathe. When old flames resurface and new love tests her carefully staged world, Twyla finds herself torn between the persona everyone wants and the person she is still discovering. Each song she writes bleeds with anger, joy, and confession, until she realizes the stage is no longer a place to hide - it's where she'll finally set herself free. The Death of a Showgirl is a novel about fame, heartbreak, friendship, and rebirth - and the courage it takes to stop performing and start living. Alison T. Woodvale is a storyteller drawn to the glitter and shadows of fame. With her debut novel The Death of a Showgirl, she weaves a sharp, heartfelt portrait of performance, heartbreak, and resilience. Having experienced the weight of public attention herself, Alison writes with an authenticity that blurs the line between stage lights and real life. She lives in New York City with her three cats and her hunky husband, who keep her grounded when the world gets loud. This is her first novel.
