Synopsis

With her sharp wit and riveting style, Leslie Carroll plunges us deep into the world of the overscheduled children of New York and the oversexed, over-lipoed, overpaid people who raise them—or pay their nannies.

Claire Marsh got married at age eighteen to a man fifteen years her senior and boasting a six-figure income. When her husband decides to trade her in for an older woman, Claire finds herself at twenty-six a single mother who has never held a job. Now, sans both husband and housekeeper, how is she supposed to keep up with the world of baby bikram (yoga) and birthday parties that cost more than some weddings? With a little help from her slightly wild and out-of-control sister, MiMi, Claire does her best to see that her daughter lacks for nothing—but there’s something askew when her daughter has a better social life than she does. When will Claire get her very own play date?
