State of Grace:
A Mother’S Plea for Life Balance
Grace Purdy's Challenge
Grace Purdy, mother of two and part-time business professor, is facing a crisis in both her marital and professional life. As an expatriate American living in London, she is doing her best to survive a divorce—both physically and financially—while navigating the English legal system.
Her Daily Struggles
Grace spends her days working on her legal case while running between business lectures and collecting her sons from the school bus. Her soon-to-be ex-husband won't take any money out of his business, leaving Grace to pay the bills. Additionally, she has given up having child care so she can pay for a lawyer in her battle to keep the marital home.
Confronting Motherhood Challenges
During Grace's journey she confronts the predicament of so many other mothers who have learned that no matter how much they give or "lean in" now, it can be unbelievably challenging not to feel exhausted and broken.
Her Resilience
Throughout her journey, Grace uses her sharp wit and humor to navigate around any obstacles she encounters.
