Mrs. Lamont, a former model, finds herself adjusting to homemaking, yard work, neighbors, and learning to drive in the country. The book is described as "bubbling along" as it depicts the family's first year in suburbia, detailing the protagonist's transformation from a city-dweller to someone who finds her new house and life is truly "home".
Comparison: It is sometimes compared to other humorous "fish out of water" books about suburbia from the era, such as "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" by Jean Kerr.
