- While most
authors maintain a professional distance, Roberts invites the
reader into her life, sprinkling solid information with stories
that are sometimes poignant, often amusing, but always real.
What makes this book stand out is Roberts' ability to go beyond
the surface 'how-to' chatter about working from home to get at
the profound experience of meshing work and family -- two critical
parts of the same whole.
