Mommy Shaming

By Julie Spencer

Lori Bishop and Mike Reed couldn't be more different. Lori is intelligent, driven, and wildly ambitious. Mike just wants to have a good time. Lori comes from a working-class background. Mike was raised in affluence, basking in the profits of a family-run company. Despite their differences, the two fall in love and eventually marry. At least, that's the story Lori wants to believe. In reality, Mike is pushed to marry Lori to strengthen the family business, and in doing so, he jilts Mandy Overton. Mandy's mother, Claire, convinced an unspoken engagement had existed between Mandy and Mike, vows to break up the marriage at all costs. In the years that follow, Lori settles into her new lifestyle and devotes herself to raising her daughter, Nicole. She's shocked when Claire and other townspeople begin actively "mommy shaming" her on social media, a calculated effort on Claire's part to destroy Lori's marriage-and it works. Now, Lori has to fight both Claire's malicious lies and Mike's ugly demands in the upcoming custody battle. To beat them both, Lori will have to remember what being a mommy truly means-and fight to defend her daughter's right to peace and stability.
