What Do You Do All Day?

A Novel

By: Amy Scheibe

Amy Scheibe's debut novel is a fresh, funny, witty take on the magic manic days of young motherhood. Her Jennifer Bradley is a thoroughly modern mommy—a former club kid who is married to the man of her dreams and who quit a fabulous job as an antiquarian objects dealer to raise her two children: Georgia, a very advanced age 4, and baby Max. But it's alarmingly easy to spin a stay-at-home mommy's world on its axis—and Jennifer's is whirling. If it's not her mother-in-law on her tail to expose her precious grandchildren to a better element (not to mention pointing out that dangerous concrete floor in their loft), it's her husband Thom announcing he'll be on the road to Singapore for the next who-knows how long. And is this really the right time for her dad to announce that her mother isn't exactly who Jennifer thinks she is? Or for the ex-boyfriend—aka the Adult Child Actor—to come back on the scene? An American answer to Alison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It, What Do You Do All Day? is a sparkling, lovable novel for mommies of all kinds—whether in the trenches or out on the hustings.

A Fireproof Home for the Bride

A Novel

By: Amy Scheibe

Emmaline Nelson and her sister Birdie grow up in the hard, cold rural Lutheran world of strict parents, strict milking times, and strict morals. Marriage is preordained, the groom practically predestined. Though it's 1958, southern Minnesota did not see changing roles for women on the horizon. Caught in a time bubble between a world war and the ferment of the 1960's, Emmy doesn't see that she has any say in her life, any choices at all. Only when Emmy's fiancé shows his true colors and forces himself on her does she find the courage to act—falling instead for a forbidden Catholic boy, a boy whose family seems warm and encouraging after the sere Nelson farm life. Not only moving to town and breaking free from her engagement but getting a job on the local newspaper begins to open Emmy's eyes. She discovers that the KKK is not only active in the Midwest but that her family is involved, and her sense of the firm rules she grew up under—and their effect—changes completely. Amy Scheibe's A FIREPROOF HOME FOR THE BRIDE has the charm of detail that will drop readers into its time and place: the home economics class lecture on cuts of meat, the group date to the diner, the small-town movie theater popcorn for a penny. It also has a love story—the wrong love giving way to the right—and most of all the pull of a great main character whose self-discovery sweeps the plot forward.

A Fireproof Home for the Bride

A Novel

By: Amy Scheibe

“An engrossing tale of intrigue, deceit and racial unrest in the upper Midwest in the 1950s . . . a fresh take on a pivotal moment in American history.” —Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Winter 1958. The town of Moorhead, Minnesota, is small, dark, and cold. No one feels it more than Emmaline Nelson, just eighteen and ready to burst out of the confines of her Lutheran farm family. Emmy was promised at twelve to the son of wealthy neighbors, but a chance meeting with a young man from Fargo, North Dakota, turns her whole world upside down—and soon she has no choice but to defy expectations and follow her heart. Bobby Doyle is young, passionate, and Catholic—and forbidden by Emmy’s mother. So Emmy leaves town in pursuit of a bigger, brighter future. But even as Emmy forges her path, and lands a dream job in the newsroom of The Fargo Forum, she finds herself drawn back to her hometown, where old lies and family secrets threaten to shatter everything she holds dear, including her own life. Filled with the drama and charm of its period, A Fireproof Home for the Bride is an unflinching coming-of-age tale about the lure of the American Dream, and about how sometimes the wrong love gives way to the right. “Set at the dawn of the civil rights movement, Scheibe’s tale captures both the heartache and the liberation of finding one’s own path.” —People, “Pick of the Week” “An engrossing, quietly profound story of a young woman’s coming of age in the deceptively bucolic Upper Midwest of the 1950s.” —Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times-bestselling author
