The Daughter in Law Sisterhood:
A Novel by Patricia Bachkoff-Weber
How far would I go to solve my mother-in-law issue? I asked myself that very question as I glared across the dinner table, fists clinched in my lap to avoid violence, listening for the hundredth time as my MIL whined that the gravy was lumpy, the green beans were mushy, and that she must remember to give me her foolproof recipe for pot roast.

How far would you go to solve YOUR mother-in-law issues?
In Society, we meet the members of an exclusive club formed to help women cope with – and solve – their mother-in-law problems. Set in glamorous Los Angeles, and primarily told by feisty top-level executive Katherine (Kat) Embers, the tone is snarky, contemporary and hip, and will appeal to a broad spectrum of female readers worldwide, we laugh and cry our way through the lives of:
- Kat, who believes her mother-in-law despises her;
- Julia, the bestselling author of fantasy books, who is positive her mother-in-law hates her;
- Gabriella, hot-shot entertainment lawyer, and doyen of the group;
- Ashley, who tries to convince the group her mother-in-law hates her;
- Claudia, sophisticated and sexy, married to a Hollywood producer;
- And Stella, the woman with the cure for a nightmare mother-in-law
We also meet the husbands and their mothers, caught up in the drama and mental anguish of sexual tension, money, fame, fortune, ambition, jealousy, and love. We join them in their journey to find happiness with their mates, détente with their mothers-in-law, and success in their careers.
Can they have it all? Turns out, they can, but there is definitely a price to pay.
