Odd Mom Out

"An intriguing heroine values freedom and toughness, but her jeans and combat boots mask vulnerability, heartbreak and fear of change" in this mom-lit (Publishers Weekly).

Advertising executive Marta Zinsser is no poster child for her wealthy Seattle suburb—and nothing could please her more. This former New Yorker wears combat boots, not Manolos, and drives a righteous Harley hog instead of a Mercedes SUV. Now she's launching her own agency in this land of the Microsoft elite, even though her ten-year-old daughter wishes she'd put on a sweater set and just be normal.

Can this ex-urbanite remain uniquely herself without alienating the inner circle of smug, cookie-cutter executive wives? And when push comes to shove, can she stop being the proud odd mom out and take a chance at something frighteningly—and tantalizingly—new?
