Trophy Life

More about the book

For the last ten years, Angnes Parsons's biggest challenge has been juggling yoga classes and lunch dates. Her Santa Monica house staff takes care of everything, leaving Agnes to focus on her trophy-wife responsibilities. When her husband disappears, leaving Agnes and their infant daughter with no money, no home, and no staff, she is forced to move across the country, where she lands a job teaching at an all-boys boarding school in the Bronx. It is here that Agnes finds out what kind of woman she can be. Ultimately, she has to decide if she prefers the woman an dmother she has become... or the trophy life she left behind. -- adapted from book jacket
