Book Description:
Maybe you know Amanda. Maybe you are Amanda. Whoever you are, you will love Amanda. An important, shrewd, and laugh-out-loud funny debut novel that answers the question: What happens when Bridget Jones or the Sex and the City girls get married and have babies?

Nothing ever prepared Amanda for this: not her elite college degree, not her brainy friends, not her mother the feminist heroine. At age 35, she finds herself at home with two children, mopping spills and singing "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider." It doesn’t help that her husband’s face is all over national television – or that her best friend is dating a billionaire – or that every woman she knows seems to have a plastic surgeon and an interior decorator.

While everyone else is racing up the fast track, it’s getting hard for Amanda to remember why she left work in the first place.

Set amidst the glamor and power of boom-time Washington, D.C., Amanda Bright is a novel about status and ambition – marriage and jealousy – and a woman’s struggle to discover the things that matter most. Amanda Bright@Home will become an anthem for a generation of women that is learning that success is not always found at the office.

This book was about a stay at home mom who must decide whether she's truly happy. It's a little dry at parts, but overall an interesting read- especially because the author includes a subplot about Washington politics.

GREAT book! Amanda makes the decision thousands of other professional women have made - to stay home with her 2 children. This is a story of how she adapts and wonders if she made the right decision. This story takes on several twists throughout...it has mystery, romance, the law and it is a read page turner.
