The Other Mother is a true story of a TV reporter and the deep bond
she forges with a woman four times her age - a bond that changes her
life.
Byrne and Duncan Miller do not blend in to the beautiful background that
is Beaufort, South Carolina. She is an 82-year-old modern dance pioneer
from Manhattan who started out on the burlesque stage during the Great
Depression. He is a pipe-smoking frustrated novelist and one of the
original Mad Men of Madison Avenue. Teresa Bruce stumbles onto the story
of their love and quickly becomes one of Byrne's "collected daughters."
Byrne and Teresa's friendship is a dance between love and madness,
loyalty and truth, and speaks to anyone who has ever needed and
cherished the love of an "other mother."
