In her witty, wry,
insightful new novel, Roz Bailey follows the adventures
of one woman who’s discovering a new state – and a whole
new state of mind. . .
When Ruby Dixon’s car is stolen –
again – on the day her husband is offered a job in Portland,
Oregon, the message seems clear. It’s time to give up
stressful New York living in favor of bucolic bliss
in the Great Northwest. Once Ruby, Jack and their three
children are settled in the woodland burbs of Portland,
life is perfect. The kids are happy and Ruby’s latest
novel is climbing on bestseller lists. Soon Ruby is
the flavor of the month on national TV shows. But the
glamorous Ruby Dixon on book jackets is a far different
person from the suburban mother of three who’s elbow
deep in laundry and diapers and Easy Mac.
When life deals her an unexpected
blow, the real Ruby is forced to start over in a strange
place. It’s terrifying, but also strangely exhilarating.
And now she’s about to find out just what can happen
when there are no safety nets, and no rules to follow
but her own. . .
WARNING:
MOMMIES BEHAVING BADLY is not a book for
