Girls with Bright Futures: A Novel

When you are a mother with power, money, and status, is there any line you wouldn’t cross for your child?

When an attempted murder reveals the dark underbelly of a privileged student Stanford community, one can’t help but wonder if there’s any line the mothers wouldn’t cross.

Alicia is a tech giant, wealthy beyond compare. Kelly is a stay-at-home mother and Stanford legacy. Maren makes three: single, broke, and out of place among the rich and elite.

While all of their daughters are natural choices for Stanford, the school they attend can only recommend one student. As the competition heats up, an attempt is made on one of the girl’s lives, and panic spirals within the community. Now the mothers have to decide if one of them is capable of murder…and even worse, capable of crossing every line to get ahead…

‘[a] suspenseful debut…This is an unputdownable morality tale for our times.’ - Publisher’s Weekly
