Can a mom preserve her tween's authenticity under the pressure of middle school? Maybe, but first she has to prove she can stay true to herself.

Parenting through the middle school years can test any mom. And Dawn's wealthy community and its pressure-cooker atmosphere don't make it easier. She cringes watching her sixth-grade daughter, Kayli, cave to superficial trends and disregard what's important to her just to fit in. Overwhelmed and underinformed in navigating this minefield, Dawn jumps at the chance to volunteer with some parenting insiders. But the role quickly consumes Dawn and inserts her into the very mom drama she detests. Worse yet, Dawn's still failing to prevent Kayli from succumbing to her peer influencers. In fact, Dawn starts doing the same. With her work-life balance and her daughter's character at stake, Dawn must learn to stand up for what she believes in before it's too late to show her daughter how it's done.
