Synopses & Reviews
Heidi Elliott has joined the elite ranks of stay-at-home moms, a world of cartoons, toys, and lactation. When her husband's business experiences financial problems, Heidi decides to take a part-time job at a pyramid scheme dressed up in women's clothing: Christian lingerie by Solomon's Closet, a company created by her new friends Kylie and Russ Zimmerman. But as Heidi begins to juggle the demands of home and high fashion, she discovers that Kylie's faith may lack authenticity, while Russ's concept of marriage may lack fidelity. And with a newborn in the house and one possibly on the way, she'll find herself torn between living comfortably and standing on her principles. Filled with colorful characters, including a clog-wearing legalistic and a best friend who skipped town to travel the globe, Bottom Line provides a humorous and knowing look at a mom's life.
Synopsis
As much as she loved being home for her daughter, Heidi Elliott misses working. And her husband seems increasingly worried about their dwindling bank balance.
So when Kylie Zimmerman dangles the chance to become part of a “life-enhancing, woman-affirming business opportunity,” Heidi takes the bait. What does she have to lose?
Synopsis
The Moms’ group that saved Heidi Elliott’s sanity has gone on hiatus, as have any ideas about dropping the weight (in all the wrong places) and keeping the curves (in all the right ones). In their place, the Friday Strut-n-Stroll provides, if nothing else, two miles of adult company and the outside chance to use polysyllabic words.
As much as she loved being home for Nora’s first steps, words, and forays into makeup artistry, Heidi misses working, not to mention money for pedicures. And her husband, Jake, seems increasingly worried about their dwindling bank balance. So when the beautiful Kylie Zimmerman, with a wave of her multi-carat–laden fingers, dangles the chance to become part of a “life-enhancing, woman-affirming business opportunity,” Heidi takes the bait. What does she have to lose?
