SEEING STARS
Ruth believes that her daughter, Bethany, is a terrific little actress. And if Bethany wants to leave the Pacific Northwest for Los Angeles and a merry-go-round of auditions, classes, and callbacks—well, Ruth will lead the way. Hollywood, of course, eats people like Ruth and Bethany for breakfast. Surrounded by other aspiring child stars, stage mothers, managers, and talent agents, Ruth and Bethany will discover just how far they can go, and maybe just how far they want to.
