The Ivy Chronicles
Author(s): Karen Quinn
Published: 2006 (Plume)
Length: 342 pages
When turbocharged Park Avenue mom Ivy Ames finds that she’s been downsized from her platinum-card corporate job and her marriage, she swiftly realizes that she’s going to need a whole new way to support herself and her two private-school daughters. So she dreams up a new business–helping upscale New Yorkers get their little darlings into the most exclusive kindergartens in the city. What begins as one woman’s bid to earn a living becomes an everywoman’s tale of midlife reinvention and unexpected romance, set in a looking-glass world where even tots have résumés.
Who, What, Where?
This gem I found in a library sale somewhat recently but I haven’t found the time to pick it up yet. This will be a mood read that I will get to eventually. I enjoy midlife reinvention tales so I’m hopeful this book will be a satisfying read!
Ah, this sounds like fun!
