The story of Beatrix Potter, the author of the beloved and best-selling children's book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and her struggle for love, happiness and success.

Beatrix Potter: Stories don't always end where their authors intended. But there is joy in following them, wherever they take us.
Helen Potter: I wish you wouldn't bring tradespeople into the house. They carry dust.
Beatrix Potter: [voiceover] There's something delicious about writing those first few words of a story. You can never quite tell where they will take you. Mine took me here, where I belong.
Beatrix Potter: My mother and I have come to an understanding. We've agreed not understand each other.
Beatrix Potter: We did it! Did you hear my heart? It was a kettle drum! You see, we can't stay home all our lives! We must present ourselves to the world, and we must look upon it as an adventure!
Rupert Potter: Our daughter is famous, Helen. You're the only person who doesn't know it.
Millie Warne: I must warn you, Miss Potter, I am more than prepared to like you!
