Sisters Like Us

The grass is always greener on your sister´s side of the fence... Divorce left Harper Szymanski with a name no one can spell, a house she can´t afford and a teenage daughter who´s pulling away. With her fledgling virtual-assistant business, she´s scrambling to maintain her overbearing mother´s ridiculous Susie Homemaker standards and still pay the bills, thanks to clients like Lucas, the annoying playboy cop who claims he hangs around for Harper´s fresh-baked cookies. Spending half her life in school hasn´t prepared Dr. Stacey Bloom for her most daunting challenge--motherhood. She didn´t inherit the nurturing gene like Harper and is in deep denial that a baby is coming. Worse, her mother will be horrified to learn that Stacey´s husband plans to be a stay-at-home dad...assuming Stacey can first find the courage to tell Mom she´s already six months pregnant. Separately they may be a mess, but together Harper and Stacey can survive anything--their indomitable mother, overwhelming maternity stores and ex´s weddings. Sisters Like Us is a delightful look at sisters, mothers and daughters in today´s fast-paced world, told with Susan Mallery´s trademark warmth and humor.
