The parent's anti-advice book, it's chicken soup for the spleen of all those ex-best friends bumped for baby. A rural, attachment-parenting single mom and a married, urban working mom--best friends estranged by their polarized parenting perspectives-take on the mothering taboos that alienate women from themselves and each other. This comic Rashomon journey through Trials by Parenthood blazes a trail for every mom shoveling through the dogma-doo in search of her own personally-correct answers. By defying the dogmas and doublespeak of Big Mother, these fugitives from the Mommy Police launch a conspiracy of validation for all women hiding in the closet of the parentally-incorrect.

On the run from Big Mother best friends discover there's no more going by the book. This time it's personal.
