'A truthful book that dives headfirst into the realities of motherhood that will make you laugh out loud and touch your heart in equal measure' — Izzy Judd

Your family doesn't fit the mould. So what?

Lucy had it all: an exciting career, a rock-star husband, and pelvic floor muscles that could crack a walnut. And then, she had kids...

Since giving birth to her second child, Lucy's life is totally unrecognisable: the romance in her marriage is officially dead, and so is the career it took her years to build.

Instead of playing the cello behind superstars at packed-out arenas, Lucy now spends most days mopping up broccoli vomit whilst listening to her four-year-old recite facts about the gallbladder. Something needs to change.

With a little help from her friends, Lucy comes up with a plan to get her life on track, claw back her career, and help her extraordinary son to find his place in an ordinary world.
