This program is read by acclaimed actor Poppy Miller, who stars as Ginny Weasley in the Broadway production of \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter and the Cursed Child. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e Allison Pearson's brilliant debut novel, \u003ci\u003eI Don't Know How She Does It, \u003c\/i\u003ewas a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller with four million copies sold around the world. Called \"the definitive social comedy of working motherhood\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e) and \"a hysterical look-in both the laughing and crying senses of the world-at the life of Supermom\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eI Don't Know How She Does It\u003c\/i\u003e introduced Kate Reddy, a woman as sharp as she was funny. As Oprah Winfrey put it, Kate's story became \"the national anthem for working mothers.\" Seven years later, Kate Reddy is facing her 50th birthday. Her children have turned into impossible teenagers; her mother and in-laws are in precarious health; and her husband is having a midlife crisis that leaves her desperate to restart her career after years away from the workplace. Once again, Kate is scrambling to keep all the balls in the air in a juggling act that an early review from the \u003ci\u003eU.K. Express\u003c\/i\u003e hailed as \"sparkling, funny, and poignant...a triumphant return for Pearson.\" Will Kate reclaim her rightful place at the very hedge fund she founded, or will she strangle in her new \"shaping\" underwear? Will she rekindle an old flame, or will her house burn to the ground when a rowdy mob shows up for her daughter's surprise (to her parents) Christmas party? Surely it will all work out in the end. After all, how hard can it be? \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow Hard Can It Be?:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\"Written with Allison's trademark wit and lacerating insight, \u003ci\u003eHow Hard Can It Be? \u003c\/i\u003eis an honest, hilarious look at being a woman of a certain age.
