Mrs. American Pie
What is Mrs. American Pie about (plot, summary)
A story about gorgeously impossible people, Mrs. American Pie follows Maxine Simmons' attempt to secure her seat at America's most exclusive table: Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, Mrs. American Pie asks the same questions that still baffle us today: "Who gets a seat at the table?" "How do you get a seat at the table?" "What will you sacrifice to get there?"
