Judy MacFarlandová této myšlence zasvětila život, šťastná však není – manžel, závislý na lécích, jí ignoruje, se synem se jen hádá a vztahy s dcerou nejsou o mnoho lepší. Když se ve škole objeví šestnáctiletý Zach Patterson, zahlédne citově vyprahlá Judy odlesk chlapce, kterého jako dítě milovala. A protože přitahuje i ona jeho, je zralá žena ochotná rázem zapomenout na všechny zásady, kterými se doposud řídila. Věřila jim však někdy doopravdy? Skandál na sebe každopádně nenechá dlouho čekat…

"Glitterworlds examines the dual ubiquity of glitter, following it as it moves across different popular cultural sites or worlds, and exploring what it does to understandings and experiences of gender, sexuality and race. Chapters explore how girls engage with it in collaging workshops to imagine their futures; its adornment of the outside and inside of the body; how it features in the films Glitter and Precious, and LGBTQ* activist glitter bombing"--Book jacket
