What Do You Do All Day?

Amy Scheibe''s debut novel is a fresh funny witty take on the magic manic days of young motherhood. Her Jennifer Bradley is a thoroughly modern mommy—a former club kid who is married to the man of her dreams and who quit a fabulous job as an antiquarian objects dealer to raise her two children: Georgia a very advanced age 4 and baby Max.But it''s alarmingly easy to spin a stay-at-home mommy''s world on its axis—and Jennifer''s is whirling. If it''s not her mother-in-law on her tail to expose her precious grandchildren to a better element (not to mention pointing out that dangerous concrete floor in their loft) it''s her husband Thom announcing he''ll be on the road to Singapore for the next who-knows how long. And is this really the right time for her dad to announce that her mother isn''t exactly who Jennifer thinks she is? Or for the ex-boyfriend—aka the Adult Child Actor—to come back on the scene? An American answer to Alison Pearson''s I Don''t Know How She Does It What Do You Do All Day? is a sparkling lovable novel for mommies of all kinds—whether in the trenches or out on the hustings.
