Chandler Baker wrote The Husbands. The story is about Nora, a married lawyer with a four year old daughter and another baby on the way. Nora's job is challenging because she has to keep up her billable hours in order to make partner in the firm. Her focus at work is lacking because she is so busy at home and her husband, although helpful, is not sharing equally in the burden of running a home and dealing with a 4 year old. Nora and her husband are thinking of moving into a development. So this story is like a gender reversing Stepford Wives. The women who live in Dynasty Ranch, are smart, successful at their jobs, and not overwhelmed. This was one creepy novel.
