While on her three-month marriage-and-motherhood sabbatical in the country, Jo bumps into an old friend, Fiona, who invites her on a "sacred silent walk" to mark her 57th birthday – - the first since her husband, Ben, died. The last thing Jo wants is to share anything about herself - these are Fiona’s friends, not hers. And what’s she going to say? That her young adult children have made life choices she doesn’t understand? That she has no idea who she is anymore? That everything is falling apart - even her happy marriage to Frank?

Mit ihren Memoiren "Ich bin nicht kompliziert, Mama, ich bin eine Herausforderung! Wie ich die Pubertät meiner Kinder überlebte" legt Spiegel-Bestseller-Autorin Joanne Fedler einen unwiderstehlich komischen und zugleich sehr informativen Erfahrungsbericht über ihr Leben als Mutter zweier pubertierender Kinder vor. Witzig und klug zugleich, dabei immer mitfühlend, berichtet Fedler vom alltäglichen Wahnsinn im Umgang mit Heranwachsenden.
