| Her
Pretty Face: Robyn Harding
A stay-at-home mom whose troubled son is her full-time
job, she had hoped that the day he got accepted into the
elite Forrester Academy would be the day she started
living her life. Overweight, insecure, and lonely, she
is desperate to fit into the Forrester world. But after
a disturbing incident at the school leads the other
children and their families to ostracize the Metcalfes,
she feels more alone than ever before. Until she meets
Kate Randolph. Kate is everything Frances is not:
beautiful, wealthy, powerful, and confident. And for
some reason, she's not interested in being friends with
any of the other Forrester moms - only Frances. As the
two bond over their disdain of the Forrester snobs and
the fierce love they have for their sons, a startling
secret threatens to tear them apart - one of these women
is not who she seems.

they want it to, but through it all, the one constant is
each other, and their regular tea parties. And when the
unthinkable happens, the girls must come together to
