"Samantha Smythe has a busy summer ahead of her with her three active young sons. Her au pair is more interested in the contents of the fridge than in the children, her husband is off drinking champagne for breakfast in London, and the famous footballer who has moved into the village seems to think Samantha is the answer to his problems. Then, out of the blue, Samantha's childhood friend Naomi turns up on the doorstep with her daughter in tow and the busy summer is transformed into a chaotic one."--Publisher description.
