An innocent little girlA phenomenal fortuneA mother like no otherTen-year old Bettina and her mother, Babs, are heiresses to one of Americas biggest fortunes. But Bettina’s whole life is overshadowed by that of her beautiful, hedonistic mother, the glamorous but domineering Babs.At fifteen, Bettina escapes to New England and an exclusive, preppy boarding school called Cardiss, where she hopes she can finally start to figure out who she really is. But while she thinks that fitting in with the other students represents her best chance of surviving the cliques and politics of Cardiss, soon she’s making choices that show that Babs maternal shadow still looms long over her. Can Bettina ever break free to forge her own identity - or is she simply doomed to being her mothers daughter forever?
