Learn moreWith a college degree from an elite university, a top-level job at the NEA, a loving and successful husband, and two adorable children, Amanda Bright is ready to conquer the world. But when she decides to leave her career to be a stay-at-home mom, Amanda finds that her college degree, her professional wardrobe, and glamorous friends and connections are no preparation for her new life. Gone are the days of meetings and power lunches; Amanda’s days are now filled with changing diapers, mopping up spills, and singing “The Itsy, Bitsy Spider” over and over.
While everyone else around her is on the fast track, it’s getting harder for Amanda to even remember—or appreciate—why she left work in the first place. Mothers everywhere will laugh and cry along with Amanda as she experiences the daily trials of adjusting to this new life and discovers that success isn’t always measured in the workplace.
