Product Description
We may think we are happy, whether we're married with children, living in a big house out in the suburbs with an adoring husband and two beautiful children, or footloose and fancy-free in a cool flat with a great job and lots of friends, but isn't there often a small part of us that thinks the grass is always greener? That longs for what we don't have?
From the outside, Vicky Townsley would appear to have it all. Features Director of the hugely successful Poise! magazine, she lives in London, is single, solvent and seriously successful. But she'd give it all up in a heartbeat for marriage, children and a house in the country complete with a couple of large dogs.
Amber Winslow, on the other hand, has exactly what vicky Townsley wants, albeit on the other side of the Atlantic. A huge stone mansion in Highfield, Connecticut, the requisite golden retriever, children (and, naturally, a full-time nanny) and a busy charitable commitment to the local Women's League that some might think was just for social climbing. But Amber isn't happy either. Amber hasn't found quite the fulfillment she had expected from being a full-time wife and mother, so when she spots a double-page spread in Poise! magazine asking married readers to life swap with a glamourous, single journalist in London, she sits down and writes a letter.
But she nver expects to be picked...
Life Swap is the story of what really happens when two women, both of whom think their happiness lies somewhere else, decide to walk in each other's shoes for one month. It's the story of the grass not being as green as you might imagine, and of discovering that happiness is not always found where you expect it to be
