Barbarians at the PTA
by Stephanie Newman - Fiction, Humor

After a rage-inducing scandal and the realization that her dreamy fiancé is faker than a faux Fendi purse, Victoria Bryant moves her psychology practice and 10-year-old daughter, Rachel, to Mayfair Close, an idyllic Westchester, NY, suburb. At first, she manages to balance the demands of her practice, single parenthood, and her budding romance with Jim, a handsome school administrator. All seems well until Rachel is suddenly targeted --- first by the girls at school and then by an anonymous cyberbully. As Rachel spirals, becoming isolated, playing hooky, and exhibiting signs of depression and disordered eating, Victoria vows to find out who has been messing with her daughter.
