(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mother's Helper (Paperback)

"Should cause some shocks of recognition...a dispassionate look at many aspects of liberation...Miss Freely has a good ear for folly and a good eye for fadishness." - The New York Times Book Review

MEET THE PYLES: Bob, the knee-jerk liberal, a college professor turned political consultant racing between Family Caucuses and Washington conclaves...Kay, the feminist, who gave up ironing clothes for ironing out hang-ups - everyones's hang-ups...Martin, an attorney, Kay's guinea pig in the experiment of open marriage...and the kids - wild, gifted, and bratty - free to express everything except the rage that seethes too near the surface to stay hidden...

...and Laura - young, lonely, desperately wanting a family, to belong, to help. Laura, who saw it all coming and couldn't stop it...

"A shrewd and funny tale of good intentions gone mad." - Chicago Sun Times

"A satirical horror story." - Rolling Stone
