Charlotte, an actor/producer fresh off the red carpet of her latest film, returns to her family's home in New Orleans for a funeral. Suddenly, this tenacious and vivacious minor Hollywood player finds herself enlisted in helping to find a long lost birth mother who gave away her twins in a laundromat.

With keen observation and charismatic allure, Charlotte tracks the birth mother and discovers clues to her own family's past while hanging an heirloom chandelier. Full of vivid moments in the Saints march to the Super Bowl during Mardi Gras 2010, colorful local characters, and bizarre supernatural encounters, The Other Mother is a fast-paced page-turner full of parades, culture and family secrets.

“Laura has an amazing grasp of what New Orleans is. 

I could smell it! And that's a good thing!”
- John Schneider
