About Mommyland

When Lizzie Zell, a burnt-out mommy blogger, finds her estranged mother Louisa in disguise on her doorstep, she thinks the business titan has finally lost her mind. While Louisa hides from a nationwide scandal, Lizzie’s suburban meltdown escalates. Accused of plagiarism and blinded by cynicism, Lizzie accosts the school bully. Running from disgrace and legal woes, the duo abscond to Europe, where Lizzie discovers she’s not only an unwitting accomplice in her mother’s revenge plot, but that aiding and abetting is the only way home. Dark, comic, yet deeply human, Mommyland is a midlife coming-of-age novel that asks: What if needing your mom isn’t the worst crime you’ve committed?
