Covergirl: Confessions of a Flawed Hedonist - Softcover
Maura Moynihan's first novel, Covergirl, blends reality and fiction in a brilliant and exciting roman à clef that draws richly from the author's own adventures as a Warhol Girl and from her many years of working with Tibetan refugees in Asia.
Meet Veronica Ferris, the daughter of an imperious socialite and a kindly but absent diplomat. Fresh out of college, Veronica lands in Manhattan in pursuit of romance, disco, and rock 'n' roll—an arrival that threatens to usurp her mother's ambitious assault on New York high society. Maintaining her "double life" as a talented partygoer and a bearer of the esteemed Ferris family name is a high-wire act that requires far more cunning and restraint than young Veronica initially realizes. With its unforgettable heroine and wry, highly entertaining voice, Covergirl is at once a poignant coming-of-age tale, a delightful social satire, and a vibrant modern-day odyssey.

Review:
Maura Moynihan’s upcoming novel... offer(s) some award-worthy dish. -- W Magazine, July, 2006
Synopsis:
Caught between the celebrity-studded, Warholesque New York club scene and the fame-seekers and Free-Tibet opportunists in Katmandu, a pleasure-loving young woman discovers the hypocrisy and spirituality that links her two worlds. Based in part upon the author's own experiences as one of Warhol's cover girls in "Interview" magazine, this novel will entice readers with its unique blend of truth and fiction. Moynihan's first book, "Yoga Hotel", was a critically acclaimed "Washington Post" bestseller. Now, this unforgettable heroine, and Moynihan's wry, irrepressibly entertaining voice, are sure to draw an even larger audience to this effervescent first novel.
