Meet Christy Hayes. She
built a multi-million dollar company, won two
Olympic gold medals, and ensnared New York City's
most eligible bachelor. But nothing can prepare
her for the ruthless competition of the Yummy
Mummy-Mafia at the Colby Girls' School.
She
thought she had it all: fame, money, a gorgeous
and powerful CEO husband. But when 11-year-old
Renata enters her life, Christy's enviable world
starts to unravel.
Juggling
unexpected motherhood, business attacks from all
sides, a tyrannical stay-at-home mother who'll
stop at nothing to maintain her PTA powerbase,
and a high-maintenance husband who just wants
his share of attention, something's got to give
in Christy's life—but what? Her marriage?
Her career? Her sanity?
Funny,
feel-good and wickedly over-the-top, Christy's
valiant attempts to succeed at the work that feeds
her soul and the family that captures her heart
will strike a chord with anyone who's ever dared
to dream of having it all.
