This sequel to Beaches picks up after the tragic death of Bertie Barron, who has entrusted the care of her eight-year-old daughter, Nina, to her best friend, the dazzling entertainer Cee Cee Bloom. But life in the Hollywood spotlight never prepared Cee Cee for this role: mother to a little girl she barely knows. For several years, it all seems to work for her: career, motherhood, and even high-profile romance with a marvelous and unlikely lover. Then, with one devastating discovery, the life she has created with Nina in Hollywood is shattered, and Cee Cee is forced to come to terms with the profound depth of her commitment to this young girl— now a young woman who has become so precious to her.
