"When Sonny Dunes, a SoCal meteorologist whose job is all sunshine and seventy-two-degree days, is replaced by a virtual meteorologist that will never age, gain weight or renegotiate its contract, the only station willing to give the fifty-year-old another shot is the very place Sonny's been avoiding since the day she left for college, her northern Michigan hometown ... To distract herself from the memories she's spent her life trying to outrun, Sonny throws herself headfirst into covering every small-town winter event to woo a new audience, made more bearable by a handsome widower with optimism to spare"--

Having it all : what data tells us about women's lives and getting the most out of yours / by Low, Corinne,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A Wharton economist's radical framework for empowering women to design a life that goes beyond the work-life binary to create true joy, balance, and fulfillment. To be a woman in America today is to be chronically tired. We face unsustainable demands on our time and efforts in every sphere. Traditional advice urges us work harder, optimize better, and, when all else fails, "self-care." The implicit message is that it is our fault that we are overwhelmed, that we must be doing something wrong. This, says economist and professor Corrine Low, couldn't be further from reality. At Wharton, she studies the decisions that shape women's lives and the economic and societal constraints they face when making them. And what her research has demonstrated, time and again, is that unseen economic forces have created an environment that is openly hostile to the needs of women. Indeed, her research highlights just how many additional factors women must consider as they navigate a future. Because of a few biological realities, and a lot of imbalanced cultural and institutional norms, women face a unique level of complexity and potential repercussions when making decisions such as whether or not to obtain an advanced degree, what type of career to pursue, when or whether to get married and/or have kids, or even where they should live. Now, in Having It All, Low poses a radical new framework for navigating these decisions. For too long, Low says, women have been expected to accept labor-intensive, unsustainable deals in all areas of work and life. This book asks the question: What would it look like if we stopped assuming the problems in women's lives are caused by women's choices, and started looking instead at the structural, economic, and biological factors that are forcing and constraining those choices in the first place? And what if, in doing so, we could learn to negotiate new deals that don't leave us feeling so depleted? In the same way that behavioral psychologists like Daniel Kahneman and Dan Ariely have sought to understand the hidden factors and biases that cause people make mistakes at the bank or the grocery store, economist Corinne Low investigates how the most significant decisions in women's lives are shaped by overlooked internal and external factors. The result is a book that offers readers a guide to getting the best deal for their lives and careers in a world full of constraints. It is also a call to action for firms, policymakers, and anyone else with an iota of power to get to work on the tough job of changing these constraints instead of the easier one we seem to default to: criticizing women. This book is not about optimizing. Women are already optimized. Consider it the essential economic textbook for life as a woman-but hopefully, a little more fun"--

Fleishman is in trouble : a novel / by Brodesser-Akner, Taffy,author.;
"Dr. Toby Fleishman wakes up each morning surrounded by women. Women who are self-actualized and independent and know what they want--and, against all odds, what they want is Toby. Who knew what kind of life awaited him once he finally extracted himself from his nightmare of a marriage? Who knew that there were women out there who would actually look at him with softness and desire? But just as the winds of his optimism are beginning to pick up, they're quickly dampened, and then extinguished, when his ex-wife, Rachel, suddenly disappears. Toby thought he knew what to expect when he moved out: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, tense co-parenting negotiations. He never thought that one day Rachel would just drop their children off at his place and never come back. As Toby tries to figure out what happened and what it means, all while juggling his patients at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new, app-assisted sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of a spurned husband is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to really understand where Rachel went and what really happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen it all that clearly in the first place. A searing, funny, and electric debut from one of the most exciting writers working today, Fleishman Is In Trouble is an exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of both our great wariness and our great optimism"--
