Summary "The Girl From Hollywood" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around characters from the American West, particularly focusing on Grace Evans and Custer Pennington as they navigate personal aspirations against the backdrop of ranch life and the allure of Hollywood. As Grace yearns for a life in acting, tensions arise about their future and the influences that threaten their idyllic existence. The opening of the novel introduces Grace and Custer as they ride through the picturesque California hills, showcasing their camaraderie and burgeoning romance. The narrative delves into their differing aspirations, with Grace feeling a strong pull toward the stage, while Custer is more grounded in his commitment to the family ranch. Tensions are palpable as conversations hint at past alcohol use and potential issues with other characters, such as the dubious Slick Allen. The distinct setting and the characters’ interactions set the stage for a deeper exploration of ambition, love, and the trials they face as Grace's dreams push against the life Custer desires to maintain.
