Growing up in a famous acting family and becoming a Disney child star, Hayley Mills was trying to grow up in a world that wanted her to stay forever young. Older and wiser, Mills looks back on films like Pollyanna and The Parent Trap, her successful yet stifling association with Walt Disney, and her surprising marriage to a producer more than 30 years her senior.

"With a novelistic eye for detail and a disarming sense of humor, Mills illuminates her extraordinary past while evoking the lost empire of mid-20th-century Hollywood…. A luminous work."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
