Good Housekeeping: My Unexpected Adventures in Domesticity (ePub)

When popular daytime TV host and uber-feminist Erica Flanagan skewers a young "trad wife" influencer on live TV, she soon finds herself on a forced sabbatical, searching for a project to keep her busy. Without a single domestic bone in her body, Erica embarks on a blogging project determined to prove that domesticity is a con. But her domestic adventure turns into a quagmire of personal discovery -and what she discovers is herself.

Erica Flanagan, uber-feminist and one of the stars of the afternoon television talk show, has honed her on-air bitch persona to perfection. Or so she thought. But Erica is becoming increasingly impatient with the new breed of millennial women who seem to be regressing into homemaker mode. When she finally blows her stack on live television, her boss puts her on a six-month sabbatical. In all her fifty-three years on the planet, workaholic Erica has never had time on her hands. Erica needs a project.

With a burning desire to show all those young, stay-at-home, housewife women a thing or two, Erica embarks on a project to prove to the younger generation of women that they're wasting their time on meaningless home-based activities-that they need to get a life. And if Erica, who doesn't have a domestic bone in her body, can do it, she will have won the argument. But she never considered the consequences of the social media backlash.

Between her thirteen-year-old social media-savvy daughter Maddie, a budding filmmaker and the mysterious Betty Crocket, who keeps showing up unannounced, Erica finds herself on a wild domestic adventure and unexpectedly discovers she might not be who she thinks she is.
