When the pressure and distractions of life in Seattle--which she hates--overcome her, Bernadette Fox decides she has had enough, and disappears. Her Microsoft-wizard husband, a slough of angry polite mothers, questioning police officers, and her daughter, Bee, are left in her wake to find out where she has gone, and who she really was.
