Kelsey's Library Staff Pick:

   The Undomestic Goddess    

  Kelsey Butterfield

Samantha Sweeting, attorney and workaholic, is having a meltdown in Sophie Kinsella's The Undomestic Goddess. So, she does what everyone dreams of doing. She walks out of her London office, jumps a train, and disembarks in the middle of nowhere, ready to start over. Through a series of strange and humorous events, she gets hired as a housekeeper. Eventually, she comes to find that slowing down isn't necessarily a bad thing.
