The protagonist of the Lifetime movie ‘A Mother’s Lie’ is socialite Joyce. When she discovers that her teenage daughter Katherine (
Alex Paxton-Beesley) is pregnant, Joyce forbids Katherine from telling her boyfriend about the pregnancy and then tells Katherine the baby died immediately after birth.
Twenty years later, Katherine is married and has a second daughter, Haley, who is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Grandmama Joyce tracks down Katherine’s first daughter, Libby (

When socialite Joyce discovers her teen daughter, Katherine is pregnant by her boyfriend, Joyce forbids her from telling him about the pregnancy and bribes Kath.
