Toddlers, Julia remembered hearing someone say, were like
big tyrants of tiny countries. Demanding, insatiably
needy, and all ego and id, her son was still by far the
best boss she's ever had. Julia Einstein knew that being a stay-at-home mom had a
lot in common with her former job as a celebrity
publicist - endless, irrational demands, little to no
appreciation, and constant hustle. But it isn't until her
husband is laid off from his job and she's forced to go
back to work and resurrect screen legend Mary Ford's
career, that Julia realizes how very much she prefers an
actual child to a formerly famous client. For example, her child doesn't steal ten-thousand dollar
leather coats from photo shoots. Nor does he require a
constant, fresh supply of a soda that is no longer in
production. He doesn't curse at Julia, pronounce her
name "Einstein" with a thick layer of disdainful irony, or
incessantly poke at her with his index finger while
reciting odd variations on childlike rhymes like a psych
patient on day pass. With a mortgage looming and three
years out of the business, however, Julia knows she has no
choice but to make Mary's comeback a success. Even if it
kills her. Which at this pace, is a possibility. But if there is one
thing Julia has learned from her time off from the office,
it's that sheer determination can solve almost anything.
After all, if she can get through suburban living with its
uncontrollable clutter and playground politics, how hard
can it be to resuscitate the career of an aging, desperate
hasbeen? And get over the fact that her husband is a
better stay-at-home mom than Julia ever was?
