Crossing Swords is a true story of one week in the life of a 42 year old mother of two young boys who is struggling with the reality of her age, suburbia, marriage and motherhood. It is the small nuances of everyday, the heartfelt dialogue and the humor discovered in the mundane that enable these pages to resonate with everywoman. "My life is great. I really mean it. I am 30 years old, have a damn good paying job at a local television station, have the world's cutest Westie, am surrounded by great friends and my wardrobe kicks ass." ..... ..."OK, so that top paragraph up there is a complete crock of shit...well, sort of....it used to be me...".However, the updated ME goes like this: I am a married woman (I don't know what sounds more bizarre to me: the married or the woman) with two boys (again...weird. I was not supposed to have boys. I was supposed to have girls to dress up and take for mani/pedis, shop for prom dresses and make them get that fancy STD vaccine and go on birth control)."
