Where'd You Go, Bernadette

By Maria Semple

Bernadette Fox was once a hardcore career woman and fiercely opinionated wife and mother living in a prominent Seattle neighborhood. But her confidence and mastery of the rat race has gradually given way to anxiety and agoraphobia. As her bright 15-year-old daughter Bee's school year comes to an end and the family's summer vacation to Antarctica approaches, Bernadette literally vanishes. Bee takes on investigating where and how her mother slipped away. The book is a perfect summer read for any mom who feels a little bit lost in the daily grind.
