Publisher's Note Drawn from real-life experiences, a bittersweet satire provides an insider's glimpse into Manhattan's upper class by following Nanny, a struggling NYU student who takes a position caring for the son of the rich and glamorous X family, as she soon learns how to juggle a vast array of tasks so that a Park Avenue wife never has to lift a well-manicured finger.
Industry Reviews "What they have here are the makings of a nonfiction tell-all book, but the material has been winningly transformed into fiction....The book is saved from self-righteousness not only by the authors' cleverness but also by their compassion." New York Times - Janet Maslin (03/04/2002)
