A lawyer who works from home and a mother to four children, Susan Lewis exposes the changing world of at-home moms, increasingly populated by former fast-track professionals who, contrary to the rumors circulating back at the office, have not disappeared into reruns of the 1950s television sitcoms. With humor and insight, Lewis explores the difficult adjustments women make after deciding to be at-home mothers, which can alter everything from a woman's self-image to relationships with spouse, children, and friends.
