Biography: general
Sexier than Sex and the City, more desperate than Desperate Housewives, the Cosmo girl comes of age in this eye-opening memoir of vice, indulgence, and sexual odyssey.
Elizabeth Hayt embarked upon holy matrimony with reservations. Once there, she found herself drowning in an ocean of wifely and motherly duties, and at 35, felt there had to be more to life. But she was terrified when her husband called it quits. She responded by ricocheting from one high-powered man to another in a post-marital celebration of dating that rivals anything Samantha Jones had to offer. From stripteases before media moguls to attempts at reaching the emotional cores of Manhattan's most lusted-after bachelors, Elizabeth rebels against her Great Neck roots, Ivy league education, and Upper East Side trappings as she delights in revealing the sex lives of true players and sexual politics of New York. In the end, she finds a way to reconcile her bad-girl desires with her good-girl upbringing and defy the predictable expectations of wife- and motherhood.

What keeps the reader's interest from page 1 is not the explicit sex scenes or the family drama, but an admiration for Hayt's sheet chutzpah in jumping into life head first. This memoir will speak to women who have taken on society's role as 'wife, mother and teacher - only to feel as though they were 'passive concessions to someone else's expectations'.
