Her Pretty Face
Frances Metcalfe is struggling to stay afloat. A stay-at-home mother whose troubled son is her full-time job, she thought the day he was accepted into the elite Forrester Academy would be the day her life began. Overweight, insecure and lonely, she is desperate to fit into Forrester's world, but a disturbing incident at the school leads the other families to ostracise the Metcalfes.
Then she meets Kate Randolph, who is everything Frances is not: beautiful, wealthy, powerful and confident. For reasons of her own, Kate is not interested in befriending any of the other Forrester mothers, only Frances. The two bond over their disdain for the school's snobs and the fierce love they have for their sons.
