Amanda, a proud and opinionated woman in her 60s, lived a quiet life hosting a weekly book club in her home. Her strict adherence to order and routine often led her to judge those around her, including her neighbors. One such neighbor was Jane, a 50-year-old woman who had recently become pregnant.
Amanda’s initial encounter with Jane at the grocery store left a lasting impression. She judged Jane’s food choices and later discovered her pregnancy, which only added to her disapproval. Amanda couldn’t fathom why a woman of Jane’s age would choose to have a child. Her criticism was further fueled by her book club members, who shared her sentiments.
However, Amanda’s judgmental attitude took a drastic turn when she encountered Jane’s daughter, Billie, and her husband, Timothy Watson. They revealed that Jane was acting as a surrogate mother for the couple, who had struggled with infertility. This shocking revelation left Amanda stunned and embarrassed, realizing too late that she had misjudged Jane’s situation entirely.
