Sarah Harman spent years as a TV news reporter, working tirelessly in a competitive industry that, she quickly learned, could replace you at a moment's notice. So when she got the chance to have her dream job, she was convinced the way to succeed was to hide the fact that she was a new mother.

"I knew few people in their right mind would hire a rookie correspondent with a tiny baby. So I said nothing." In 2021, Harman left broadcast news and changed careers; her debut novel, All the Other Mothers Hate Me, about a single mother forced to become a detective to save her young son, was released on March 11 and is being adapted for TV. Here, she revisits her TV years—and explains why she has no regrets.
