Meet Dr. Shelley Green – newly minted pediatrician. After graduating medical school at the top of her class, Shelley is hired by Madison Pediatrics, the Upper East Side's most exclusive practice. Suddenly this self-described ‘schlumpy girl from Jackson Heights' is thrown into the world of the rich, famous, and very neurotic. Her life is about to change in a big way. Hyper-parenting has reached epidemic proportions -- and Madison Pediatrics is its over-privileged epicenter.

"After a disastrous marriage and a crippling case of career burnout, Janet Petrocelli -- fit, forty(ish) and fed up -- closes her New York City psychotherapy practice and moves to the Hudson Valley. She buys a building in an old river town, opens a 'junque' store, and moves into the apartment upstairs. A calmer life would be nice, with a little less input from 'that overrated, self-obsessed, narcissistic species - the human race.'"--Provided by publisher.
Sebastian Stuart's quest for self-discovery leads to a sad and shocking understanding of his family history and the price of grief denied.
Hunting the Hudson River valley for cast-off treasures is usually low-stress for Janet Petrocelli, a former shrink who now owns a used-stuff shop. But her insatiable curiosity kicks in when she gets a call from Natasha Wolfson, a high-strung singer and songwriter. The girl is desperate to unload her funky jewelry for a little fast cash so she can move to Los Angeles—and escape some serious trouble. Hours after meeting with Janet, the tormented rising star allegedly leaps to her death. Suspecting foul play, Janet noses into Natasha’s life and gets drawn into an eccentric enclave ruled by the rich and infamous. From a hotbed of corruption at the New York State capital to an exotic pleasure house hidden deep in the Catskills, Janet’s obsession with the case leads her closer to the shocking truth.
