More About This Book

Overview

The Pacific Heights Moms & Tots Club is the most exclusive children’s playgroup in all of San Francisco. For the city’s ultra-competitive elite, the club’s ten annual spots are the ultimate parenting prize.

But not everyone is PHM&TC material. The club's founder, Bettina Connaught Cross, adheres to strict membership rules: Moms only. No single parents or working mothers allowed. Membership is an arduous commitment. And there’s no room in the club for scandal, bad behavior, or imperfection...from tots or their moms.

In a world of power and prestige, no one has more than Bettina. And as every mom in Pacific Heights knows, you simply cannot cross her. But this year’s admissions process is more rigorous than ever, pitting prospective members against each other to prove their mettle.

But four of the six candidates vying for the remaining four slots have a secret that would knock them out of the running. Jade is a former stripper and porn actress, who has been absent for most of her son’s life. Jillian’s husband cleaned out their joint accounts and left her for his pregnant assistant. Ally never even had a husband—just a sperm donor—and she’s hiding a high-ranking corporate job. And Lorna fears that her son may have special needs... just the excuse her sister-in-law, Bettina, needs to deny her entry to the club.

Can these hopeful moms keep up appearances long enough to outlast the competition? Or will their chances—and their private lives—go up in flames?

This is the first of four books that follow our heroines during "the Onesies," their inaugural year in the club. Upcoming books—to be released in four episodes each year—will follow subsequent years: the Twosies, Threesies, Foursies, and Fivesies.

    As a new Mom myself who lives in the SF Bay Area, I thought this

    As a new Mom myself who lives in the SF Bay Area, I thought this book was absolutely hysterical. It is entertaining and reads almost like you are watching a television show, which I thought was a lot of fun. I have already recommended Totlandia to several of my friends and to be honest... even the ones without kids LOVED it. I am dying to know what happens next! Let's HOPE Totlandia 2 comes out soon!.

    Really fun look into a gossipy, elite mom's group. Quick read if you want to sit back on a plane or the beach and chill out, maybe 100 some pages so it's perfect to read in one sitting! Love her books.
