The Smallest Things is a book for all those parents who devoured Baby Love and What to Expect When You're Expecting but find themselves dumped by Baby Inc. after the first year.

As a journalist Angela Mollard never left home without her passport, contact lenses and a spare pair of knickers in case she had to drop everything and fly overseas for a story. Add two children to this scenario and her work was seeping into every corner of her life and turning her into the sort of person she loathed. She was suffering a crisis. What she wanted was quite simple - time to enjoy her children, sufficient cash to keep everyone in food, nappies and wine, and the energy to be a half decent wife. Why was it all so hard?

Angela Mollard is a high profile weekly columnist for New Ltd Sunday Newspapers. She also writes regularly for Mamamia and The Punch, and women's magazines in Australia and the UK. She is a regular on The Today Show, Channel 9 Mornings and Sky News and can often be heard on ABC Radio 702, 2UE and Mix 106.5.

You are invited to meet Angela when she introduces her new book at 6.30pm on Thursday, March 27th at Berkelouw Books in Hornsby.
