A solid middle-class girl from Middle America, Jamie Whitfield isn't "one of them" but she lives in the wealthiest section of Manhattan. And she has most everything they have--a big new apartment, full-time help with her three children, as well as her very own detached Master of the Universe attorney husband. What she doesn't have is a full-time father figure for their struggling nine-year-old son, Dylan. Enter the manny. At first the idea of paying a man to provide a role model for Dylan sounds too crazy to be true, but one look at Peter Bailey is enough to convince Jamie that the idea may not be quite so insane after all. Peter reminds her of everything she once was, still misses, and underneath all the high-society glitz, still is. But will the new manny in her life put the ground back beneath her feet, or sweep her off them?--From publisher description.
De ondeugendste maar ook de liefste hond van de wereld - Nu verfilmd met Jennifer Aniston & Owen Wilson
John en Jenny nemen een puppy in huis en hun leven zal nooit meer hetzelfde zijn. Marley groeit al snel uit tot een niet te stoppen vierenveertig kilo zware stoomwals van een labrador retriever. Hij stormt door hordeuren, steelt vrouwenlingerie en sieraden, en sloopt alles waar hij zijn tanden in kan zetten. Hoewel hij vaak de boel op stelten zet, zijn betuigingen van liefde zijn grenzeloos. Door alles heen blijkt hij een toonbeeld van standvastigheid, ook als de familie aan het eind van haar Latijn is. John Grogan brengt de hartverwarmende capriolen van de labrador tot leven – en laat zien hoe een grote, recalcitrante hond een gezin leert wat echt belangrijk is in het leven.
