One of the more intriguing Lifetime TV movies is Mommy’s Secret. It doesn’t feature a helpless woman fleeing from the violent hands of an ex-husband. In Mommy’s Secret, the single mother is doing her best to make ends meet and she’s found a way by robbing banks. Wearing a disguise (hat, sunglasses, beard), she robs local banks and then gets away on a bicycle. Soon her teenage daughter catches on but no one believes her.
