It’s 1939. The set of the soon-to-be-classic film The Wizard of Oz is alive with tension. The demanding director has an explosive temper that threatens to erupt anytime something goes wrong. The teenage star has a hauntingly beautiful voice, but her youth and naivete keep causing delays on an already pricey production.
In the midst of it all, aging starlet Billie Burke—wearing her ephemeral “Glinda the Good Witch” gown—watches everything unfold, hoping this movie will rejuvenate her sagging career… and perhaps help her hide a few secrets of her own.

An Unlikely Jewish Journey Through Childhood, Forgiveness, and Hope
Andrea Kott thought of herself as “the welfare Jew.” The daughter of a single mother whose depression and drinking pitched them into poverty, her stormy life looked nothing like that of the Jewish kids she knew: It defied every stereotype she associated with being Jewish—having an intact family and material wealth, and becoming a bat mitzvah. Alienated and ashamed, Kott felt ineligible to be Jewish, yet hungered for connection to the tradition and to God. It took a near-fatal accident, her mother’s death, marriage and motherhood, and losing a beloved brother for her to find her Jewish home.
