We follow Miller as she leaves for a weekend away with her mother, Sylvie. The two do not have a good relationship at all, and Miller has agreed to try to work on their relationship despite the warnings of her girlfriend/wife.
There were immediate red flags as soon as Miller went to get into her mother's car. Personally, after one major red flag just after getting in the car, I would've immediately gotten out and said this isn't worth it. Of course, then there wouldn't be a book.
I understand where Miller was coming from in trying to create some sort of relationship with her mother, despite everything she knew about the person her mother is. Sometimes, we give our family too many chances because they're family, and we feel guilty for cutting them out of our lives. Miller is this type of person. She feels guilty and thus gives her mother too much power over her.
