Inside The Moms Club

Friendships are formed in interesting ways, but some of the most lasting develop in unexpected places. Real bonding occurs in long carpool lines, parent associations, and concession stand volunteer stints (particularly on a frigid Friday evening with the school’s football team down a few touchdowns). Join Monica Samuels, co-author of Comeback Moms: How to Leave Work, Raise Children, and Restart Your Career Even If You Haven’t Had a Job in Years and her four close “mom friends” as they journey through the highs and lows of motherhood together with a strong sense of humor keeping everyone sane.
