Emma Straub Synopsis: Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures by Emma Straub is a standalone novel. In 1920, Elsa Emerson is the child of the owners of the Cherry County Playhouse in Door County, Wisconsin. Elsa enjoys appearing onstage, where she soaks up the approval of her father and the embrace of the audience. But when tragedy strikes her family, her acting becomes more than a child’s game of pretend. While still in her teens, Elsa gets married and heads for Los Angeles. There she is discovered by Hollywood mogul Irving Green, who makes her as an exotic brunette screen siren and renames her Laura Lamont. But fame has its costs, and while Laura tries to balance career, family, and personal happiness, she realizes that Elsa Emerson might not be gone completely.
