Mona Simpson's first novel deals with a complex relationship between a mother and daughter. Adele August, twice-married woman, hoping to turn her 12-year-old daughter, Ann, into a child star in Hollywood, drives her from Wisconsin to Beverly Hills. However, Ann achieves only limited success as a television performer, and Adele works at mundane jobs in order to survive, deluding herself with imagined love affairs. By novel's end, the emotionally trying--and occasionally violent--mother-daughter relationship is altered by Ann's growing need for independence. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
