From Emmy award-winning writer Kate Rorick comes a novel exploring modern-day morals, motherhood, and the fallout of a viral moment. Quinn Barrett's seemingly perfect life unravels when her son refuses to wear his hand-crafted costume to the Little Wonders Preschool Halloween Parade.

The video’s creator is Daisy McGulch, a tattooed, blue-haired newcomer struggling to fit into the upscale New England community. While Daisy has little interest in the local parenting trends, she fears revealing her role in Quinn's viral moment could lead to her expulsion from the town. As Quinn and Daisy unexpectedly team up to navigate the politics of the Little Wonders Parents Association, they discover shared experiences that challenge their perceptions of each other. However, the lingering impact of the internet complicates their budding friendship. Can Quinn overcome her newfound reputation, and what lengths will Daisy go to keep the truth hidden? Hilarious and insightful, this story offers a candid look at the pressures of modern motherhood, from scrutinized playdates to the chaos of social media.
