Publisher's Synopsis
With humor and a touch of satire, author Patricia J. Parsons creates another memorable character as she skewers domestic drudgery.
Erica Flanagan, uber-feminist and one of the stars of the afternoon television talk show, has honed her on-air bitch persona to perfection. Or so she thought. But Erica is becoming increasingly impatient with the new breed of millennial women who seem to be regressing into homemaker mode - the trad wives of TikTok fame. When she finally blows her stack on live television, her boss puts her on a six-month sabbatical. In all her fifty-three years on the planet, workaholic Erica has never had time on her hands. Erica needs a project.
With a burning desire to show all those young, stay-at-home, housewife women a thing or two, Erica embarks on a project to prove to the younger generation of women that they're wasting their time on meaningless home-based activities-that they need to get a life. And if Erica, who doesn't have a domestic bone in her body, can do it, she will have won the argument. But she never considered the consequences of the social media backlash.
Between her thirteen-year-old social media-savvy daughter Maddie, a budding filmmaker and the mysterious Betty Crocket, who keeps showing up unannounced, Erica finds herself on a wild domestic adventure and unexpectedly discovers she might not be who she thinks she is.
