Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler: A Memoir

At an elite prep school, the devil wears Lilly Pulitzer pink.

When Wade Rouse, who grew up more Hee-Haw than Dynasty, was hired as the director of publicity at the prestigious Tate Academy, he quickly discovered his real job: to make the very pretty, very rich, very mean mommies of the elite students very happy.

Enter Wade's VIP volunteer and perfectly coiffed nightmare, former beauty queen and sports star Katherine Isabelle Ludington--Kitsy to her friends. In between designing Louis Vuitton-inspired reunion invitations, dressing as Ronald Reagan for Halloween, and surviving surprise Botox parties, Wade tries to tame Kitsy and her pink Lilly Pulitzer-clad posse while retaining a shred of self-esteem.

Following a year in the life of the super rich and super spoiled, Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler is hilarious, heartbreaking, and deliciously catty.
