What The Star They Tried to Dim is about
Her 6-year-old math genius daughter was branded a liar and scored zero at an elite academy. Fighting for her cost the single mom her job. Cornered, she dials the ruthless tech mogul she fled six years ago — the child’s father. When he arrives, a devastating reckoning no one foresaw is only just beginning.
