In Searching for Beauty Cherie Burns chronicles Rogers's glittering life from her days as a young girl afflicted with rheumatic fever to her debutante debut and her Taos finale. A rebellious icon of the age she eloped with a penniless baron danced tangos in European nightclubs divorced remarried and romanced among others Clark Gable. Her romantic conquests though paled in comparison to her triumph in the fashion world where she electrified the fashionistas by becoming the muse to designer Charles James appearing in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and - at the end of her life - retreating to Taos New Mexico where she popularized Southwestern style.
