Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler: a Memoirby Wade Rouse
Because I've worked in public service my entire adult life, including a stint in the alumni office at UCONN, this book caught my eye. It's the true story of the author's work as public relations liaison at a private prep school and his interactions with staff, students and, especially, their families. Rouse's descriptions of the "Pink Barbies" and "Mean Mommies" (including what their little dogs are wearing) are absolutely hilarious. At times laugh-out-loud funny and at other times quite sad, it is the story of how the ultra-rich live and, quite often, rule over others. Though it is hard to understand why Wade Rouse allowed himself to be treated the way he was by these people, he does paint quite a vivid picture of how the other half lives. This book is available through CLEVNET.
