The Parents' Association

A school meeting becomes an explosive flashpoint in the culture wars, in a provocative bonus scene from The Doorman by the New York Times bestselling author of Two Nights in Lisbon and The Expats.

Emily has eagerly attended the DEI workshops and the roundtable on institutional racism; she led the task force on decolonializing the curriculum; she has never in her life cast a vote for a Republican. She is a die-hard liberal. But her billionaire husband is definitely not, and he's increasingly incensed about what he calls the Great Awokening at the exclusive, expensive private school their kids attend.

Today's PA meeting has been convened by an educator nicknamed QR Code to present a long list of language that should no longer be used in the "learning community." As the meeting unfolds, it resolves into focus as an explosive, divisive flashpoint: What happens when liberals become illiberal?

"The Parents' Association" is a thought-provoking adaptation from the forthcoming novel.
