Summary:
A polished and highly organized producer, Peterson's persona was at odds with her tortured childhood, where she watched her emotionally vulnerable mother, Anne, fill their house with teetering piles of assorted "treasures." They were united by their love of white dresses, which embodied hope and new beginnings. After her mother's sudden death in 2010, Peterson began examining the events that led to Anne's unraveling. Years in a convent; married an abusive, closeted gay man-- the chaos of their cluttered house was Anne's retreat. In spite of everything, the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter endured.
