If you’ve ever been a

room parent or school volunteer, Jen Dixon is your hero. She says what

every class mom is really thinking, whether in her notoriously frank

emails or standup-worthy interactions with the micromanaging PTA

President and the gamut of difficult parents. Luckily, she has the charm

and wit to get away with it—most of the time. Jen is sassier than ever

but dealing with a whole new set of challenges, in the world of parental

politics and at home.

She’s been roped into room-parenting yet

again, for her son Max’s third grade class, but as her husband buries

himself in work, her older daughters navigate adulthood, and Jen’s own

aging parents start to need some parenting themselves, Jen gets pulled

in more directions than any one mom, or superhero, can handle.

Refreshingly

down-to-earth and brimming with warmth, Dixon’s next chapter will keep

you turning the pages to find out what’s really going on under the

veneer of polite parent interactions, and have you laughing along with

her the whole way.
