Lynn Doe's story starts in an orphanage nestled in the Alberta plains in the 1930's where life is simple, if not a little lonely. But when Lynn moves away from the orphanage and begins to wonder about the world around her she is thrown into an adventure that will eventually lead her to seek stardom and glamour in the city of Toronto. Inspired by the tragic image of Marilyn Monroe, this memoir-style novel is at once achingly honest and believable. The story is propelled forward by the letters Lynn writes to Frankie, her only anchor in a life that starts to slip away from her even as she writes it down. Lynn encounters poor ruffians, rich executives, sly secretaries, focused artists, and everything in between as she runs after a dream that flickers against the darkness of reality. As Lynn pours out her life through struggles, triumphs, friendships, loves, and heartaches, there is a sense of a question being asked - as every life asks a question - and an answer waiting, poignant in the background.

This book examines the relationship between Britain and Ireland, specifically the central role played by print and broadcast media in communicating political, cultural, and social differences and similarities between the two islands. The relationship between Ireland and Great Britain has a long and complex history. Given their geographical proximity and shared language one key dimension of this relationship has been the communication media – print and electronic – that have mediated this relationship. This book addresses this important, but relatively neglected, topic at a critical time in Anglo-Irish relations. Taking the long view, as well as looking in detail at specific episodes, the contributors map British-Irish interactions in print and broadcast media. This volume assesses the proprietorial and journalistic connections between various media institutions, the conditions under which media organisations operated and distribution channels employed. It considers media influences in terms of the role of media organs in constructing national identity and promoting social change. Furthermore, this book also considers news flows between the two islands, censorship in times of conflict, cross-border influences of television, and the relationship between cinema and television. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Media History.
