Biographies of seven women who dressed as men to get what they wanted in life.

The author was immersed in her career. She had prepared for years for this time in her life - she was financially independent and moving step by step up the corporate ladder. That was the true definition of success . . . or so she thought. Then it happened - marriage. Then it happened - pregnancy. Then it happened - REDEFINITION! Susan Hughes explores well below the surface of the working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate using her humorous though deeply honest recollection of the birth of her son and the challenges and joys that followed. She takes us on her journey from "manager" to "Mommy" that left her knowing, without a doubt, that motherhood is the most important and most powerful job there is. The undeniable truths presented within make a convincing argument that kids, not career, should be a mother''s top priority.
