Alice Sullivan is a busy mom. A husband who travels for work. She has a busy job as an interior decorator. Two good kids - at least she thinks they're good. She's also got a great support system, two best friends whose kids are the same age and a very helpful mother who is a doting grandmother to her only grandchildren. It's busy, but it works.
Until it doesn't. Her son makes a few bad choices at school. Her daughter is only reading at level E and where is her reading journal? Her mom has a family secret. She's made her two best friends mad. She can't focus at work and of course, her husband is out of town. There's a folder sitting on the table that she can't even begin to open. Soon Alice is dealing with problem after problem and she's bound to crack soon but which problem will do her in.
When reading Are We There Yet? it referenced Liston Heights and I thought that's funny I read a book that took place there recently. While updating my Goodreads I explored the author and realized not long ago I had read her first book Minor Dramas and Other Catastrophes which took place in Liston Heights. I really enjoyed both her novels and will definitely put Kathleen West on my to watch list.
