  Summary

  After graduating high school in 1960, Mona Jensen, a sweet country girl from rural Connecticut, moves to California with her best friend Susie Lyndell. While working as a roller-waitress at a drive-in, she meets the man of her dreams, a tall and gangly Texan named Mike Nesmith. A shotgun wedding and a few ads in the back of a trade paper change their lives forever. Will fame and fortune make or break them?
