Plot Summary: Mona (Rennison) is a 12-year-old who wants to be a beauty
queen. And that's all she wants. She earns the money to fix her teeth and pay for pageant classes. She finds a friend, Ruby, who can make costumes. Mona
grows up (Driver). And the grown-up Ruby (Adams) is devoted to her so much so that when Mona inconveniently gets pregnant, Ruby solves the
problem: Mothers can't enter beauty contests. Seven years later, Ruby is acting as Vanessa's mother and looking after the single-minded Mona. Mona
qualifies for the Miss America Miss finals. Then an elderly patient commits suicide at the nursing home where Ruby works. Ruby is accused. Who will
look after Vanessa? Who will look after Mona? Mona and Vanessa head for the contest and, miracle of miracles, Mona actually starts thinking about her daughter.
