Mrs. Perfect

As a young girl in a blue collar neighborhood of Pasadena, California, Taylor Young watched the selection of the Rose Bowl queen every year with fascination and envy. When she grew up, Taylor decided that she'd be beautiful and popular and have stylish clothes, too. She would marry a handsome, successful man, and live happily ever after in a big house with three darling children. At thirty-six years old, Taylor is at the pinnacle of her dreams. She has a successful software billionaire husband, three beautiful girls, and a life of luxury in an exclusive enclave in Bellevue, Washington. But her picture-perfect life is about to unravel... As the new school year draws near, Taylor prepares herself for another semester of playing the perfect alpha mom, organizing class activities and fundraising, including chairing the school auction. To her horror, Taylor's archrival, bohemian mom Marta Zinsser, is named Head Room Mom for her daughter Jemma's Fifth Grade Class. From that moment forward, this alpha mom will do everything she can to overrule Marta's influence at committee meetings and school activities. Tensions rise and the two rivals seem destined for a final confrontation. As Taylor prepares her next move, she is leveled by a far more serious blow: Nathan, her husband, has been secretly unemployed for the past six months. Suddenly, Taylor's posh lifestyle begins to crumble. As she struggles to maintain her alpha image, Taylor soon realizes that Marta, who cares so little about appearances, may be her only true friend.

Mrs. Perfect

Chapter One

Zooming into the country club parking lot, I snag a spot close to the club pool. Okay, technically it's not a spot, but there's nothing else close and I'm late.

Nathan says I run late often, and yes, sometimes I do, but not always. It's just that my schedule all summer has been ungodly. I've always been busy, but in the past year I have taken on way too much, sat on far too many committees, agreed to assist too many organizations.

The problem is, everyone needs help, and I hate inefficiency, I really do, which is how I got to be on so many committees in the first place.

I know how to get things done. I've always known how to get things done, and for me, it's relatively easy organizing functions and raising money. And as we all know, everything these days is about raising money. As well as improving the quality of life for the kids.

It really is about the kids, isn't it?

I sign in quickly at the poolhouse's front desk and wave at a passing mother-never do remember her name, though-and emerge into the late afternoon light that already streaks the pool.
