Contemporary Chick Lit

Ruby Silverman is surrounded everyday by babies. Her swanky baby boutique caters to wealthy moms and infants with name- brand clothing and designer products. But watching all the mothers wheel their little angels in the store has Ruby contemplating whether she'll ever have her own little darling. Or the pre-requisite husband.

When her mother drops the bomb-shell that she's pregnant at 50, Ruby has even more cause to look at her bleak future. Then she meets Sam Epstien, a gorgeous gynecologist, and if she can get over the idea of his profession (and her worry that she won't...er...physically measure up to the women he sees daily), there just might be a future for Ruby after all.

Woven into Ruby's early-30 musings is sub-plot about a baby- brokering business that could spell chaos for Ruby's business, Les Sprogs. Will she have the courage to follow both her professional and private dreams?

You'll laugh out loud at Ruby's humorous escapes (the stamp -- you've got to read about the stamp) and relate to her many misgivings about her life and where it's going. Ms. Margolis' trademark witty, bright writing style shines through in GUCCI GUCCI COO. Fun!

SUMMARY

Ruby (still single at thirty-two) Silverman has made a name for herself at Les Sprogs, her exclusive baby boutique where trust-fund mothers swaddle their infants in the hottest designer wear. But all those bumps and babes can’t prepare Ruby for the bombshell her fifty-year-old mother drops on her: Ruby’s about to get…a baby brother or sister!

When Ruby recovers from the shock of her mother’s pregnancy, she can’t help but question her own baby-making future. Is catering to celebrity moms and cooing over her friends’ kids all she has to look forward to? Sam Epstien would passionately disagree. He’s the gorgeous Jewish gynecologist who has set his amorous sights on her. Soon they’re seriously involved, and life seems to be looking up for Ruby. Until she stumbles upon a shady baby-brokering business that could erupt into a major scandal, derail her career, and maybe even force her to toss the supposedly perfect man out with the bathwater.
