Renee Rosen Synopses: Let’s Call Her Barbie by Renee Rosen is a standalone novel. In 1956, Ruth Handler walked into the boardroom of Mattel with an audacious idea: a doll that didn’t just mimic motherhood but instead embodied the dreams and possibilities of being anything. It was a vision ahead of its time, challenging societal norms and sparking the imagination of millions of little girls.

As Ruth assembles her dream team—Jack Ryan, the enigmatic engineer whose brilliance hides a complex past, and designers Charlotte Johnson and Stevie Klein, whose aspirations are pinned on Barbie’s success—the stakes couldn’t be higher. Against the clock and the odds, they work tirelessly to bring Ruth’s revolutionary vision to life.

But as Barbie rises to global fame, the lives of those who built her are shaped by the doll’s success—and its controversies. From Ruth’s triumphant highs to the shadows of public scandal, from Jack’s personal struggles to Charlotte and Stevie’s battles for recognition in a male-dominated industry, the story of Barbie is inseparable from the people behind her.

Fifth Avenue Glamour Girl is a standalone title by Renee Rosen. At the heart of the story is Estée Lauder, a young woman with a vision. Selling face cream out of a beauty parlor, she dreams of joining the ranks of beauty moguls like Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein. Her relentless drive and charm are impossible to ignore, and she’s ready to prove that a woman can build an empire, even in a world dominated by men.

Meanwhile, Gloria Downing is trying to escape her past. Fleeing a family scandal, she’s desperate for a fresh start and a purpose. When a chance encounter with Estée draws her into the burgeoning beauty world, Gloria finds herself swept up in her friend’s ambitious plans. Together, they navigate the challenges of the industry, from the glamorous floors of Saks Fifth Avenue to the cutthroat competition of beauty moguls.

As Estée’s dreams take flight, Gloria discovers her own strength and voice, proving invaluable in helping Estée blaze her trail. But ambition always comes at a cost. Both women face sacrifices, betrayals, and the harsh realities of pursuing their dreams in a society not yet ready for powerful, independent women.

The Social Graces by Renee Rosen is a standalone novel. In a world where a woman’s worth is determined by her family name, wealth, and connections, none reigns more supreme than Caroline Astor—the Mrs. Astor.

For decades, Caroline has ruled with grace and precision, enforcing the rigid social codes that define her glittering world.

But change is on the horizon.
