A generation ago, Mothers Coming Together may have been
called Girl's Night Out, but the local Orange Cove,
Florida, chapter of the organization allows mommies an
excuse to have some grown up conversation and talk honestly
with other women. Bonded by their common experiences,
Chloe, Anna, Juliet and Grace support each other through
the challenges of raising children.
Restaurant critic Anna's divorce was almost final by the
time her son Charlie was born. Now that the love of her
life is a two-year-old toddler though, she's wondering if
it's time to re-enter the dating scene. Juliet is
determined not to let her pre-school twin daughters prevent
her from making partner at her law firm, even though her
stay-at-home husband is increasingly uncomfortable with the
amount of time Juliet spends at the office. Chloe thought
her husband was excited about her pregnancy, but once the
baby arrives, James isn't interested in helping her and
she's soon overwhelmed. Grace is the new president of
Mothers Coming Together and she's well-qualified, since she
stays at home with three daughters under six years old. But
Grace only compares herself to other women according to one
measurement, and everyone seems thinner than she is. Each
of these women has been MOMMY TRACKED and with the support
of their friends, they can find ways to survive and thrive.
Whether you are currently a mommy or never planning to have
little ones of your own, you'll love being a part of this
group of mothers as they share their triumphs and
disappointments with the ever-changing expectations and
demands of modern motherhood. Whitney Gaskell
expands the challenges of motherhood beyond a laundry list
of ideas by combining elements from the lives of four
women, plus many of their mommy friends, into a funny,
honest and thought-provoking examination of the ways having
a child changes a woman's career, her marriage and her self-
image. With four distinct storylines, this book has a plot
to please every reader. Once you start reading, you'll wish
these women could be your new mommy-mentors!
Praised for her “smart, funny, sexy, and refreshingly
real” novels, author Whitney Gaskell delivers a warm,
witty, and wise new story of four women coping with the
challenges of motherhood, men, and each other.
For
Anna, Grace, Juliet, and Chloe, the idyllic town of Orange
Cove, Florida, is home…but even in paradise, balancing
the challenges of motherhood and life is never

Twos, divorced restaurant critic Anna has too much on her
plate to reenter the frightening world of dating—no matter

has three beautiful daughters and the perfect husband, yet
she’s increasingly obsessed with one nagging flaw: her
excess baby weight…. Ambitious Juliet is desperate to make
partner at her law firm. Fortunately, her husband stays
home with their twins. But at the office, Juliet is
finding more than work to occupy her time....When newest
mom Chloe gives birth, her husband seems indifferent to
parenting their son. Chloe is so overwhelmed that she

she’d overcome.…
