After quitting her job, Mavis finally has time to get all the rest she’s been putting off. Except she’s taken on a new role: Supermom. Her hours are filled with chauffeuring her daughter around to her extracurricular activities, somehow ending up class mom, and...investigating another mystery? When the director of the kids’ soccer program drops dead, no one suspects foul play. However, the police soon discover that someone had it in for the coach. But who? Mavis is determined to find out. Plus, it’s an easy distraction from everything else going on. Like the fact that she’s unemployed and totally lost as to what her purpose and path in life should be. Mavis knows a murder investigation probably isn’t the self-care she needs right now. But how exactly are you supposed to take care of yourself when you don’t even know who you are anymore?

Mavis Miller is not a PTA mom. So no one is more surprised than her when she caves to Trisha Holbrook, the long-reigning, slightly terrifying PTA president, and finds herself in charge of the school’s brand-new DEI committee. As one of the few Black parents at this California elementary school, Mavis tries to convince herself this is an opportunity for real change. But things go off the rails at the very first meeting, when the new principal's plans leave Trisha absolutely furious. Later that night, when Mavis spies Trisha in yellow rubber gloves and booties, lugging cleaning supplies and giant black trash bags to her waiting minivan, it’s only natural that her mind jumps to somewhere it surely wouldn’t in the light of day. Except Principal Smith fails to show up for work the next morning and has been MIA since the meeting.
