Angela is a good bet for making partner at her firm next year. Indeed, she is well on her way to conquering the world when she finds it abruptly turned upside down: she learns that she is unexpectedly expecting . . . a baby. With zero exposure to children and absolutely no idea how to raise an infant, Angela tackles the demands of motherhood while desperately trying to hang on to her first baby, the one which she has nurtured so well for so many years - her career. Along the way she loses touch with her husband and unwittingly acquires an unwelcome but tempting admirer, further complicating an already thorny mess. And just when things reach what seems to be an unbearable boiling point, Angela discovers the ultimate betrayal . . . How will she ever recover? Told candidly in an engaging voice, Frozen Pancakes and Fake Lashes captures the tale of Everywoman's struggle to balance the overwhelming demands of marriage, career and new baby, and chronicles Her quest to regain Her pre-baby mojo.
