The Los Angeles Times-bestselling "deliciously witty romp" about a wife and mother who loses it all only to find herself -- and a whole lot more (Caroline Leavitt).

Helen Fairchild is living a privileged life in a Pasadena paradise. She's married to a supposed pillar of the community. Her son is destined for the most prestigious high school. She volunteers on the most fashionable committees. Then along comes a Rose Parade float that kills her two-timing husband. In a flash, Helen is broke, booted out of her perfect home, and scrambling to salvage her enviable existence.

When archaeologist Patrick O'Neill offers her a job as his research assistant, it's the lifeline Helen needs to reinvent herself. Suddenly, there are ancient mysteries to solve! Charity events to plan! A whole new world to explore! And if Helen doesn't keep getting so distracted by her attractive boss, she might just be able to pull off this new life...
With its keen social observations, laugh-out-loud scenes and whip-smart dialogue, Helen of Pasadena spent more than a year on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list. It is a wise story from an author "known for her humorous take on day-to-day issues facing women everywhere" (Oprah.com).
