Title: I Don't Know How She Does It: The Life of Kate Reddy, Working Mother Author: Allison Pearson type of book: Humorous "Women's" Fiction call number: Fic

This book is strong in character and story.

Summary:
Kate Reddy is a working mother of two children under the age of 6. She must juggle her family and her job, which is made even more difficult by: working in a London financial firm (where one must work 50+ hours a week to just keep ones' job), traveling all over the world on a moments notice (see job), trying to maintain the appearance of being a perfect mother to the nit-picking stay at home "Muffia" and many more obstacles.

I would recommend this book!

Why?
This is a very humorous look at life as a mother with a fast paced, extremely time consuming job outside the home. Kate's struggles to be a good mother in the eyes of others and to hold her ground and hopefully gain some more at work are vividly described.
