Chestnuts roasting by an open fire is not the scene found
in the homes of these Christian desperate housewives who
are gearing up for the hectic holiday season. From
cheating spouses to infertility, these women leave no
stone unturned as they try to keep their heads above water
while throwing each other lifejackets via e-mail to stay
afloat.
When the head e-mail loop moderator finds herself
in the middle of a familial crisis, she reluctantly
confides in her not-so-nice younger sister as she watches
her once perfect life crumble to pieces. Keeping up
appearances becomes more and more difficult for her as the
stress of the holidays approach, but she must forge on if
she wants to live up to her stellar reputation for
perfection. This quirky group of women, however, has a
way of holding themselves together despite their
differences of opinion and at times cattiness that
craftily seeps out through their frequent e-mails and
mindless games that they play.
Through thick and thin, these stay-at-home moms face the
everyday struggles of motherhood, career choices, and
spousal issues that ultimately mold them into strong yet
independent women who are ready to tackle whatever life-
altering decisions are tossed their way.
The sequel to SAHM I Am, @ Home for the Holidays
revisits the lives of a group of extraordinary women who
appeal to both the working and stay-at-home moms as Efken
expertly tackles sensitive topics not found in mainstream
fiction. Light, humorous, and at times touching. @ Home
for the Holidays makes the perfect holiday gift.
Sitting by the fireside, humming carols and knitting
mittens…not! For these stay-at-home moms, the weeks before
Christmas are anything but mellow. How can you balance
housework, home crises and the husband without losing your
mind? Plug in your laptop!
Meet Dulcie, Zelia, Jocelyn, Rosalyn, Veronica and the rest
of the women of SAHM I Am. An e-mail loop of stay-at-home
moms, they've seen each other through months of domestic
drama: babies who won't come, bills that won't leave, kids
who won't listen and spouses who won't talk. Now, as the
yuletide approaches, the SAHMs are on hand once again,
bearing gifts of sisterhood, sanity and the real Christmas
spirit.
