Description

Alice Pearse is a married mother of three, part-time editor, devoted daughter, and reluctant domestic multitasker who believes she has found the perfect opportunity at Scroll, a stylish literary start-up poised to transform the way people read. But as her husband changes careers and pressures mount at home, Alice’s carefully managed life begins to unravel through family illness, marital strain, demanding children, and an increasingly unpredictable workplace. Set against the competing worlds of books, technology, friendship, and family, the novel explores the challenges of modern motherhood, ambition, loyalty, and the elusive promise of “having it all.” With warmth, wit, and keen social observation, it follows one woman’s search for a life that reflects what she truly values.
