Bernadette Fox is
notorious. To her Microsoft guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated
partner to fellow private school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace to
design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15 year old Bee, she is
a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle and people in general has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.
To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
