Next, Cupcake learns that the business world is not importunate in its desire for women of thirty-six with no resume. Day care is expensive. As kids get older, their toys cost more. Joe Perfect doesn t show up, which is hardly surprising. Cupcake isn t Suzy Prom Queen any longer.

Or they ve been burned in one marriage and aren t about to make that mistake again.
