Bella Hunt thought the worst life got was the nanny quitting. But then she lost her job and found herself waiting for her husband to run off with his secretary to round off a trio of travesties. Going from being a high-flying fashion PR manager to a stay-at-home mother of three turns out to be a rather rude awakening, and Bella finds herself desperate for adult conversation and her own income. Her best friend and self-appointed life coach Rachel thinks starting up her own business from home is the perfect solution, but Bella couldn't do something like that, could she?
