Now a mother, she wants to teach her daughter that beauty can be both nourishing and treacherous. However, Mirabella is far too young to hear the truth of her mother's hard-won knowledge, so Kerrin wraps a fantastical bedtime story of magic shoes, enchanted oak trees, witches, and sad kings around actual events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As mother tells the story and daughter interjects, Kerrin can't help but return to her past when she was at the pinnacle of her career as an independent film director.
