A mother and daughter embark on a cross-country road trip to liberate Marilyn Monroe's legacy and find their own paths to healing and empowerment.
In the wake of her husband's sudden death, Miriam Renata is further unsettled by the news that Hugh Hefner has been entombed next to Marilyn Monroe. Determined to free her idol from this posthumous indignity, Miriam and her teenaged daughter, Matilda, set out on a journey to liberate Norma Jeane--and themselves.
As they travel across the West, the lines between Marilyn's story and their own blur, forcing Miriam and Matilda to confront their grief, challenge societal expectations, and redefine what it means to be a woman in America. This is a story of love, loss, and the enduring power of female agency. Perfect for readers interested in:
- Feminist historical fiction
- Mother-daughter relationships
- Hollywood's Golden Age
