Sophie King Bücher

Mütter, Kinder und das Chaos der Gefühle Caroline, Mark, Susan und Lisa haben eine Gemeinsamkeit: Ihr ganzes Leben dreht sich um ihre Kinder. Lisa wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als ein eigenes Baby; Caroline versucht, ihre Karriere und ihren Nachwuchs unter einen Hut zu bringen; Susan opfert sich für ihre behinderte Tochter auf; und Mark bemüht sich, seinen Kindern Vater und Mutter zugleich zu sein. Wenn ihnen wieder einmal alles zuviel wird, suchen sie Rat und moralische Unterstützung bei „Mums@Home“. So kreuzen sich schließlich auch ihre Lebenswege - und die Turbulenzen fangen an …

A week in the lives of seven people - all on the same route to school: Harriet is waiting for her husband to tell her if their marriage is on - or off. Pippa is about to receive some potentially devastating hospital results. Evie has one week to save her career - and find her missing husband. Nick's wife died two years ago, leaving him with a troublesome teenage daughter. Martine, a French au pair, is about to run off with a married man. Kitty, a school teacher, accepts a bet to find a man in a week. And Betty watches by the roadside, looking for the driver who killed her son... Little do any of them know that by the end of the week the school run will have become a collision course, connecting their lives in more ways than one.

Caroline, Mark, Susan and Lisa are as different as the parenting problems they face, and each has her own different reasons for logging to the mums@home Website. At first they are cynical about the site, but each of them slowly comes to realise that it has become a lifeline for their strained domestic lives.
