For Kate Klein, suburbia's been full of unpleasant surprises. Her once-loving husband is hardly ever home. The supermommies on the playground routinely snub her. Her days are spent carpooling, and at night, most of her orgasms are of the do-it-yourself variety. So when a fellow mother is murdered, Kate finds that the unsolved mystery is one of the most interesting things to happen in Upchurch. She launches an unofficial investigation with the help of two friends and discovers the secrets and lies behind the town's placid picket-fence façade -- and the choices and compromises all modern women make as they navigate between independence and obligation, small towns and big cities, being a mother and having a life of one's own.
Emily Skinner has appeared in the original Broadway companies of Jekyll & Hyde, James Joyce's The Dead, The Full Monty, Dinner at Eight, and Sideshow, for which she was nominated for the Tony Award. She has performed internationally with many symphonies and can be heard vocalizing on countless musical theater CDs.
