Contemporary Chick Lit, Women's Fiction
Marta Zinsser grew up in a conservative old Seattle suburb
and couldn't wait to leave for New York, where she thrived
as an independent woman with no need for men--ever--until
she decided to have a baby. Ten years later, when her mother
becomes ill, Marta realizes that this may be her daughter
Eva's last chance to get to know her grandmother. Returning
to Seattle, Marta and Eva take up residence on the affluent,
technology-drenched Eastside, filled now by snobby old money
families and even snobbier nouveau riche. Enrolling Eva in
the local school, Marta accedes to her daughter's wishes and
agrees to join the PTA despite being horrified by the fancy
moms who dominate it. With wealthy husbands, massive homes,
nannies, no jobs, and their own hierarchy, the fancy moms
have no intention of letting a bohemian mom like Marta into
their private circle.
Will Marta be able to carve a niche for both herself and
Eva? And when gorgeous maverick Luke Flynn appears in
Marta's line of vision, will she find love after keeping it
at arm's length all this time?
Originally clever and funny chick-lit that's a must-read.
