More about the book
"Jamie Whitfield is a rarity among the sleek and chic of the Grid - the exclusive blocks of Manhattan's Upper East Side where it's all about keeping up with the Rothschilds. She's a working mother who never quite fits in, much to her ambitious husband Phillip's dismay. While Phillip is worrying that they're the poor relations of the neighbourhood, Jamie is more concerned about juggling her job as a news producer with the needs of her three chidlren - especially her struggling nine-year-old son Dylan. Enter the Manny. One look at Peter Bailey convinces Jamie that the idea isn't as crazy as it seems. Faced with the story of her career, and mutiny from Dylan, Jamie hires Peter to be her own manny. Calm and down-to-earth, Peter reminds her of who she once was - and who, underneath all the high-society glitz, she still is. And he proves to be a life-saver in more ways than she could ever have imagined ..."--Back cover.
