FULL LENGTH. Twelve-year-old energetic, high-spirited Young Teri learns that she is adopted, and the revelation unlocks a universe of possibilities. No longer restricted by the limitations of the family she knows, she begins to imagine her “other” mother, certain that she will find a place to belong within the family of her invention. Five decades later, and older Teri reaches out to her sisters Sherry (the Tea Party sister) and Sheila (the Disney sister) only to discover that Mom was not so wonderful and that her sisters are estranged, the result of a long-kept secret neither one can face.

Finding herself in the middle of their struggle, Teri is convinced that it is her destiny to restore their relationship. An ill-conceived plan, inspired by her younger persona (Young Teri), jeopardizes the fragile connection between Teri and her newly discovered sisters, forcing her to examine the childhood she had, the childhood she imagined, and the one that she might have endured. In despair of never truly belonging, Teri must finally forfeit her fantasy and confront the facts about her mysterious other mother, and about herself.
