About this book

At thirty-eight Trudy Herring is a dreamer a sculptor of whimsical clay figures and a permanent temporary worker at the San Antonio Museum of Folk Art. But all that changes when she agrees to incubate a child for Hillary Goettler (her boss) and Hillarys husband. Trudy moves into their mansion and is instantly thrust into a luxurious world shes never known before. While Hillary opines that parenthood is simply a time-management problem Trudy is forced to consume noxiously healthy meals in a home where the decor changes faster than a Neiman Marcus window display. As her body warms to the other life inside Trudy begins to long for her old flame Sinclair Coker a freelance mystic with a lot of enthusiasm for the carnal. The quest to satisfy her cravings leads Trudy to discover that it takes a lot more than war stories about childbirth and potty training for a woman to qualify for true membership in the mommy club.
