Simultaneously thrust into quadruple culture shock, Penelope goes from a single, childless Manhattan socialite and a genuine product of a Wall Street sophisticate of the Big Apple. An accurate and thorough product of the Big Apple to a synthetic Orange and silicone-enhanced social scene of Southern California. From Wall Street and high finance to a married housewife, an aspiring teacher who ends up as a super sweeper/babysitter to the entitled children and parents of Newport and Laguna Beach.
The characters and attitudes she encounters from the kiddos, her eccentric coworkers, the privileged parents, and the antics all put together will keep you laughing hysterically as you quickly turn the pages. The author's linguistic style alone will keep you in stitches. Just imagine a beautiful woman dressed to the nines in a high-speed pursuit of an errant eight-year-old wearing a $600 dress and Jimmy Choo heels sprinting across the soccer field to apprehend the miniature miscreant. You and her coworkers can't help but burst out laughing as she lands in the mud. Her dress is nearly over her head, but with the micro criminal in hand.
So join Penny and her cast of characters as they navigate the social and cultural minefield that is the sovereign and sometimes hostile nation of Orange County, California.
