HER DAUGHTER'S MOTHER

After a series of unsuccessful in vitro fertilization attempts, Lana and Tyler decide to use an egg donor. Petrova's completely original mystery gets amazing performances from Tavia Gilbert as Lana, Dan Bittner as Tyler, and Carlotta Brentan as Katya, the egg donor. The couple select an anonymous donor from numerous profiles and photographs. However, Tyler leaves Lana just before she gets the news that a donor egg has been fertilized. She decides to go ahead with the implantation without telling Tyler. The narrators maintain high emotions as stalking, paranoia, secrets, and betrayal keep things intense. Perfect for audio, each section is its own mini-monologue of "then" and "now," told by either Lana, Katya, or Tyler. The insightful performances and psychological twists will keep listeners guessing.
