Emma Murray Books in Order

Writer Saoirse struggles with motherhood, suburban competition, and growing resentment toward her husband. When her agent proposes a candid book about parenting, she must consider how much truth she can reveal about the life she is barely managing.

When her husband loses his job, Saoirse becomes the family’s main earner and accepts a lucrative new client. Balancing work, motherhood, and social expectations seems possible until her expanding responsibilities threaten to overwhelm the life she wants to maintain.

Saoirse welcomes her husband’s temporary New York job, expecting an exciting family adventure. Instead, a tiny apartment, an unsettled daughter, and his frequent absences test her resourcefulness as she tries to build a life beyond the imagined holiday.
