The Working Family's Guide to Getting a Life Back

Summary

For most families, it remains the ultimate dilemma: how to balance a happy, healthy family life with the demands and rewards of work.

She quit, and decided to start again from scratch.

Half a Wife is her guide for guilt-torn parents who are teetering on the edge.
