Publisher Description

Praised for her "refreshingly real" novels, Whitney Gaskell delivers a warm and witty story of four women coping with the challenges of motherhood, men, and each other.

With a son in his Terrible Twos, divorced working mother Anna is too busy to reenter the world of dating, no matter how expertly her new admirer woos her. Grace has three beautiful daughters and the perfect husband, but she's increasingly obsessed with her weight. Juliet wants to make partner at her law firm while her husband stays home with their twins, but at the office, Juliet is finding more than work to occupy her. When Chloe gives birth, her husband seems indifferent to parenting. Overwhelmed, Chloe slips back into a nasty habit she thought she'd overcome.

Filled with humor and charm, Mommy Tracked illuminates four friends, their intertwining lives, and their joys and mistakes along the way.

"Just finished this one up. It took about 5 chapters for me to get so into it that I could not put it down. If you are in the mood for a great chick lit book, then this is the one for you. It tracks the lives of 4 friends and their struggles with mommyhood, relationships and family. Good stuff!"

— Ramona (4 out of 5 stars)

    " OK book. It was an easy read. Subject matter was not too deep but that is what I expected. It was a pretty realistic portrait in that each mother was different struggling with different things. It certainly didnt brush over how difficult it can be to raise kids. "

    " Took me a couple weeks to read this one. It just wasn't a page turner. An easy read, but just not something I was hurrying to get back to. It doesn't pick up at all like I had hoped it would. I suppose was still enjoyable, just a light read. "

    " It's a fun read. I had to try and not laugh out loud while on a flight. There's just so much about it to like. Each of the characters had some trait or experience that to which I could relate. "

    " Well as surprised as I was this was a great book. I mulled over all the female characters and if I took a few traits from each of them I could make a mirror copy of myself! AWESOME! I will go out of my way to find more books by this author. A good read for all woman! A++++++ "

    " Despite having been a stay-at-home mom and now being a working mom, I had a hard time relating to any of the characters. Maybe my friends and I are too normal, or more likely we just have different issues. However, I'm always a sucker for a happy ending tied in a bow and it was a quick fun read. "

    " This was another fun read. It is a story about 4 different mom/wives who became friends through their mommy group. The stories of each woman are told in chapters (ie, one chapter is Grace the next is Juliet and so on.) It is traditional chick lit with good humor and funny story lines. "
