| Abstract |
"After a whirlwind year, Tabitha Walker's check list has changed drastically. Her picture perfect plan for the perfect job, husband, and home has now become: diapers changed (infinite), showers taken (zero), tears cried (buckets), and hours of sleep (what's that?). Don't get her wrong, Tabby loves her new bundle of joy and motherhood is perhaps the only thing that's consistent for her these days. When the news station announces that they will be hiring outside competitors for the new anchor position, Tabby throws herself into her work. But It's not just her role as a weekend anchor that Tabby has to worry about maintaining--all of her relationships seem to be spiraling out of their regular orbits. And when Marc presents her with an ultimatum, and his mother comes for an extended "visit", Tabby is forced to take stock of her life and make a plan for the future. As the demands of motherhood accumulate, the alienation from her friends and family deepens, and Tabby must figure out how to ask for the support she so desperately needs. But help is always there when you ask for it, and Tabby's village of friends and family will once again rally around her for her biggest challenge yet"-- Provided by publisher. |
