Bay Area

Essie Walker, new mom, loving wife, etc., is not thrilled when her brother Mark-o, pastor of their community church, strong-arms her into taking on the second-grade boys' Sunday school class.  It's bad enough to have moved from New Jersey to the Bay Area of California for her seemingly never there husband's job in IT without having to take on "the Doom Room."  The baby is teething, the ladies of the church all seem so perfect, and Essie is about to lose her mind!  After all, the boys of the Doom Room earned that nickname...  Can a suburban housewife who wants nothing more than to go back to work as a coach for women's track and field find happiness caring for a baby, two parents who suddenly seem to need more than their fair share of assistance, and interacting with the "perfect" mothers of the "perfect" little boys in her class?  Chances are that you'll laugh yourself silly reading this, the way I did!
