Penny Baker is winning at life. Sort of.
Her work is demanding, her kids are demanding and her husband seems to be undergoing some weird midlife crisis but she is juggling it all - with the added delights of the menopause.
But when the charity she works for is thrown into crisis and her mother's dementia advances, the strain starts to show.
Can she navigate it all and still somehow keep a smile on her - flushed - face?
A witty, relatable story of motherhood, menopause and managing the heck out of it all.
