By Hilary Grossman
Executive, wife, and mother of an outgoing first-grader, Sydney Clayton crushes her day-to-day obligations at work but flounders in the cutthroat world of parental politics.
She manages to avoid the local drama until she’s faced with an ultimatum: join the Forest River PTA or risk her daughter becoming a social outcast. Sydney reluctantly becomes treasurer, and takes the recently vacated position of the president’s sidekick. If protecting the children’s freedom of speech, one best friend ban at a time, isn’t complicated enough, Sydney and her husband receive an unexpected offer for their house they don’t think they can refuse.
Embroiled in the deception and manipulation rife among the elementary school moms, Sydney struggles. Should she sell the home she worked so hard to build in a town where betrayal runs rampant? Or should she stay put to avoid the fallout from uprooting her child? As Sydney focuses on what is best for her daughter, and lets go of her judgments, she finds friendship can develop in very unexpected ways.
Warm, witty, and wise, Go On, Girl dramatizes the dilemmas of life in the suburbs and the bonds shared by women. Perfect for fans of Class Mom and I Don’t Know How She Does It.
I’ve enjoyed each of Author Hillary Grossman’s books, but Go On, Girl! is my favorite! I expected her usual fun characters, and humorous snapshots of life in today’s world. But there is so much more to this well-crafted book. Ms. Grossman has taken the usual foibles, drama, and problems of the daily life of a modern woman and her family and given us a story that is delightful to read. But, such is her writing skill, she also presents us with a thoughtful and meaningful view of our world today and how we react to it.
Magic! Go on Reader, grab it! Perfect for book clubs, too!
Sydney has an executive job, a lawyer husband who is her rock and all-around great guy, and an adorable daughter Amanda. They live in a suburb and have had a busy, but pleasant and manageable life until daughter Amanda enters first grade. No, the daughter does fine with school. It’s the mother, Sydney, who has to deal with all the pitfalls and drama of the school scene. Sydney gets wrangled in to joining the PTA by the President and Queen, Jackie.
Much of the story focuses on the problems and drama of the PTA., stories which are funny and sad. In addition to dealing with “Snack with the Snowflakes” and the Annual Penny Auction, Sydney must also deal with the ups and downs of real estate, when a couple wants to buy her home, which is not for sale. (If you love HGTV, this part of the story is awesome.)
Sydney is likable. She is a wife and mother who puts her family first, but also takes the time to reflect and grow. Here’s what she learned:
“Having a group of gals to let off steam with and run ideas by, not only made me a happier person, but helped me be a better mother.”
“I learned first impressions weren’t always accurate and it often took a lot of effort to understand a person.”
And here’s what I learned. Some things haven’t changed since I was a mom of school-age kids. But, social media has magnified many of the interpersonal issues. I am going to remember to pray for young mothers, it’s a confusing world now.
Readers, see why this is a five star read? Not only will you love it while you read it, but it will stick with you a bit, after you are finished. You Go, Hilary and please keep on writing. Highly recommend.
