Now she's back. After living abroad for twelve years, she
and her husband, Ryan, aka H.H., have returned to New York
to make a life for themselves. In the midst of getting her
new business off the ground and fixing up their fixer-upper,
Ryan announces his sudden desire to start a family. His
timing simply couldn't be worse.
To compound the mounting construction and marital chaos, her
former charge, Grayer X, now sixteen years old, makes a
drunken, late-night visit, wanting to know why she abandoned
him all those years ago. But how can she explain to Grayer
what she still hasn't come to terms with herself? In an
attempt to assuage her guilt, yet against every instinct,
Nan tries to help Grayer and his younger brother, Stilton,
through their parents' brutal divorce, drawing her back into
the ever-bizarre life of Mrs. X and her Upper East Side
enclave of power and privilege.
After putting miles and years between herself and this
world, Nan finds she's once again on the front line of the
battle with the couture-clad elite for their children's
wellbeing.
With its whip-smart dialogue and keen observations of modern
life, Nanny Returns gives a firsthand tour of what happens
when a community that chose money over love finds itself
with neither.
The Nanny Diaries was made into a major motion picture.
