My daughter dislikes having her picture taken; plagued by anxiety about her appearance, she has grown accustomed to hiding behind her glasses. Yet I, her mother, yearn to capture these moments—and, above all, to truly see my daughter. When she finally picks up the camera, the lens turns toward me—and, in doing so, turns back upon herself. Can we, through the eyes of another, learn once again to see ourselves?

Despite her sheltered upbringing, Jenny is a teen with a bright future; she's smart, pretty, and has aspirations of attending Oxford University. When David, a charming but much older suitor, motors into her life in a shiny automobile, Jenny gets a taste of adult life that she won't soon forget.

Through deeply personal interviews with her siblings and an examination of the photographs, letters, and belongings left behind, Mariska assembles a new portrait of her mother Jayne Mansfield, an extraordinary and complex woman.
