An uplifting tale of one woman juggling her dream job as a foreign correspondent, the demands of 2-year-old twins, a high-flying husband who can't get a green card, and all the temptations of life in New York.
Most journalists would crawl over broken glass to secure the glittering prize of being a foreign correspondent in New York. Caroline Overington is understandably over the moon about her plum posting, but there's a problem (or two). New York is a great playground for grown-ups, but is the crowded skyscraper capital of the world a good place to live when you're raising toddler twins? As her mother says, 'Are you mad?'
Caroline relocates her young family from sunny carefree Bondi to a rat-infested basement apartment in Manhattan and tackles the juggling act of being a good mother and a having an exciting career as a reporter overseas. Her husband Martin has his own challenges - after twenty years as an advertising executive, he has to learn to be a stay-at-home dad. Whether she's covering the lead-up to the war in Iraq from a flooded basement, attending Bill Clinton's book launch with a three-year-old dressed as a pirate or exposing author Norma Khouri as a fake with the kids in the back of the car, Caroline Overington gives it her all.
Funny, perceptive and inspirational, this is the adventure of a lifetime, proving that the modern woman can have it all: a high-flying career, a wonderful family life and 'New York'.
