"A woman looks back at the events that shaped her life, especially the scandals and family secrets that stand in the way of her making peace with her past"--

The daughter of a famous photographer, Bea Seger and her brothers were the subjects of an explosive series of images in the 1960s known as the Marx Nudes. The photographs left a family legacy of grief felt long past the public outcry and media attention; she has spent a lifetime running from her childhood. Decades later, both the Museum of Modern Art and Hollywood come calling, eager to cash in on the enduring interest in these infamous photos. Twice divorced from but still dependent on aging rock star Gary Going, Bea lives in Manhattan with her borrowed dog, Dory, and her sort-of half-sister, Echo. Now she must choose: let the world in (and be compensated), or leave it locked away forever. -- adapted from jacket
