Satisfaction Guaranteed. Hope is beginning to lose her grip. She has three unruly children (well, four if you count her hopeless husband), a high-powered job in real estate on Long Island that keeps her permanently stressed and overworked, a glamorous ex-husband whom secretly still hankers after and a serious nanny crisis. The fifth childminder in nearly as many months has walked out and today of all days, when she has a $1.5 million waterfront property to sell, she is left holding the baby - literally. In desperation Hope calls England and asks her sister-in-law to send Mary Poppins. Instead she gets Annabel who is not what she had in mind at all. That Annabel is the wrong age and has very little experience is instantly clear but what Hope doesn't know is that the real reason Annabel has come to America is to escape her own past. Why did she leave England in such a hurry? And in tackling everyone else's problems, can she solve her own? Caroline Upcher has written a story of two very different women thrown together - one a driven workaholic with three kids and two husbands, the other, fifteen years older, unmarried and broken hearted who until very recently still lived with her mother. Two women, each with their own nightmare agendas to sort out; two women who will change each other's lives from the day they meet.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
