Amanda’s husband has just traded her in for an affair with a teenybopper. Brooke is a trophy wife collecting dust. And Candace (Don’t call me Candy) has had too many husbands and too little love. What do these three unlikely accomplices have in common besides a Little League team called the Mudhens? A plot to reclaim a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t. And they’re going to do it with a mop and a bucket.Maid for You starts as a way for Amanda to make enough money to keep the roof over her kids’ heads after her husband splits for his midlife crisis. But when Candace and Brooke join her, it becomes much more. Donning disguises, they enter the homes of those who once spurned them and discover more than just clutter in the closets of their neighbors’ otherwise tidy lives. But when Amanda takes on the job of cleaning the home of the town’s most eligible hunk, someone decides to do her dirty. Now Amanda, Brooke, and Candace are on a mission to prove that being single in suburbia isn’t a crime–even if it does lead to some irresistible temptations….From BooklistAmanda's husband has run off with a young thing named Tiffany, and everyone in this tony Atlanta suburb knows about it. Former friends avoid eye contact, thus rendering her son's baseball games excruciating, especially since Amanda, along with two other women considered pariahs, is relegated to helping out at the concession stands. Amanda finds a new kind of friendship with these two women, especially when she discovers that her husband has left her virtually penniless. What can a woman whose only skills are cooking, cleaning, and carpooling do to support her family? The three brainstorm and come up with the idea of a housecleaning service. Since her clientele are her snooty neighbors, Amanda dons a disguise, and, curiously, her alter ego has the confidence she lacks. Truly a treat to devour in one sitting, Wax's story of a woman's transformation from dependence to dominance is a hugely entertaining study in self-empowerment.
