Having It All

You work and you miss your children. You stay at home and you wonder if you're missing out . . . Liz Ward has always believed you can have it all - career, marriage, children . . . So when she's offered one of the biggest jobs in television, she jumps at it. But she hasn't counted on the boss from hell, a rival who gleefully points out the baby sick on Liz's sharp suit, or a best friend who turns out to be a snake in the grass where Liz's handsome husband is concerned. And when her son starts washing his hands ten times a day at nursery school, Liz starts to wonder: Should it be her rather than the nanny sitting on that rug in the garden with the children? So Liz decides she will have it all - on her own terms. But Liz's decision has a far greater impact on family and friends than she expects, shattering the myth they all live by.In this funny and touching novel, Maeve Haran has movingly captured the dilemma of working motherhood.'It will touch chords and tug heartstrings.
