Description
When did having it all become doing it all? Penny Baker is coping...just about. Three kids, one dog, one lovely, but sometimes oblivious husband. She is even managing to hold her own among the competitive school moms—if you don’t look too closely. But when she finds herself also caring for her elderly mother, diagnosed with dementia, the household is thrown into disarray, and Penny finds herself stretched to breaking point trying to meet everyone’s needs. Can she make the new family situation work? And is there any chance of finding some space in it all for herself? This funny, uplifting read is great for fans of Milly Johnson, Gill Sims, and Alexandra Potter.
This book is a heartfelt, relatable read that perfectly captures the chaos of modern motherhood. Nancy Peach balances humor and emotion as Penny juggles kids, a husband, and now her mom’s dementia. The story feels real—exhausting, messy, but full of love. You’ll laugh, maybe cry, and definitely nod along as Penny figures out how to survive (and maybe even thrive) in the madness. A must-read for anyone who’s ever felt stretched too thin!
