But these days, Amy doesn't exactly adore herself. <P>Even worse, the whole time she's feeling invisible and about as attractive as a barnyard animal, Amy suspects that Evie's father, Joe, is having an affair. Then Amy meets Alice, who seems to have this mommy thing down: She's single-girl-slender, for one thing, with groomed eyebrows, a smooth forehead, and killer clothes. Plus she has a sex life. In short, she's a Yummy Mummy, one of a new breed who manage to make motherhood look positively sexy. Under Alice's tutelage, Amy discovers that she's got some yumminess of her own. Joe takes notice, as does her handsome Pilates instructor. But once Amy's libido awakens from its extended slumber, a whole new set of problems develops. <P>Filled with acute perceptions of the challenges faced by new moms, as well as the uniquely terrifying landscape of new motherhood, <i>The Yummy Mummy</i> is as endearing -- and as refreshing -- as a baby who sleeps through the night. 2302122 2006 The Yummy Mummy total:245|5:13|4:58|3:109|2:54|1:11| 245 743 363 60 5 1 false false Sun Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 12:13:32 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 09:21:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 08:51:05 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 18:01:18 -0800 2009
