Shirley Linden married the doting Henry Harris, but she has a headstrong mother-in-law at home. The mother-in-law isn't malicious at heart, but she's opportunistic, refuses to listen to advice, and causes a series of disasters, always under the guise of 'it's for your own good.' The mother-in-law believes the words of a scammer, causing Shirley Linden to have a difficult birth, lose her child, and nearly die in the delivery room.
