Rent The Package Deal: My (not-so) Glamorous Transition from Single Gal to Instant Mom

Synopsis

At 35, Izzy Rose is a successful, Emmy Award-winning television producer, pulling down a hefty salary in a fast-paced newsroom and living the good life of a "middle-class socialite" single gal in San Francisco. She's fine with the fact that she doesn't have kids, but now she's fallen in love with a wonderful Southern man named Hank who comes with two of his own. When she goes to meet Hank's family in Memphis, she's not expecting that he'll pop the question. Or that in a very short time, she'll say 'I do,' becoming stepmother to Hank's two adolescent sons and packing her bags for a new life in Texas. Izzy's world, as she knew it, was turned upside down.

In The Package Deal, Izzy makes her way through the treacherous territory many career women must negotiate as she learns to be a wife and a mother to the "Young One, and the "Tall One" while holding onto some of her old identity. At once relatable and exquisite, brave and scared, Izzy chronicles how one woman reinvents the stepmother role in her sassy, stylish, but also loving and vulnerable image. The Package Deal is a toast to the richness of Izzy's life as she learns to roll with the punches with grace and humor and embrace her new life as wife, instant mother, and Texan.
