Ritva Kokkolan romaanin tapahtumat sijoittuvat aikaan ennen sotia ja aikaan sotien jälkeen. Väliin jää raja - maahan ja mieleen. Amanda on hemmoteltu varakkaan kodin lapsi, jonka elämän vaikein asia on rakkaus. Äidinrakkaus, joka tukahduttaa, häpeää ja kieltää. Miehen ja naisen välinen rakkaus, joka on petollista ja saavuttamatonta. Ystävien välinen rakkaus, johon liittyy kilpailua ja mustasukkaisuutta. Epäluulo koettelee ja erottaa. Julkisivun ja nuhteettomuuden vaatimus voi muodostua niin suureksi, ettei selviytymiseen löydy muuta ratkaisua kuin täydellinen hylkääminen, joka on kuolemaa pahempi. Muistot eivät vapauta eikä kukaan saa uutta alkua, mutta aina kuitenkin ymmärrys auttaa haalistamaan syyllisyyden ja itsesyytösten varjoja. Romaanin tarinassa kateus ja ahneus johtavat rikokseen, jonka seuraukset ovat sovittamattomia ja musertavia.
Huonoa elämää elänyt isoäitini, jota en ole koskaan nähnyt, vaikka olen elänyt kymmenet vuodet samaan aikaan hänen kanssa!Avioliiton toivoa, pettymys ja vaikea masennus ja maanpäällinen Helvetti.

"Amanda Gallo is my kind of girl: funny, self-aware, and unable to resist a makeover. . . . I loved this novel." --Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons "Entertaining." --People When Amanda Gallo, fresh from the backwater of local TV, lands the anchor job of her dreams at FAIR News, she thinks she's finally made it: a six-figure salary, wardrobe allowance, plenty of on-air face time, and a chance to realize her dreams, not to mention buy herself lunch. Instead, she finds her journalistic ideals shredded as she struggles to keep up with the issues in a ratings-crazed madhouse: battling for hair and makeup time; coping with her sexist (but scathingly handsome) coanchor, Rob; and showing Benji Diggs, her media maestro boss, that she's got what it takes. As the news heats up in a hotly contested election season and a wildcard candidate, former Hollywood actor Victor Fluke, appears on the scene, Amanda's pressure-cooker job gets hotter while her personal life unravels. Walking a knife's edge between ambition and survival, and about to break the biggest story of her career, Amanda must decide what she's willing to give up to get ahead--and what she needs to hold onto to save herself.

While every-one else is racing up the ladder, it's getting hard for Amanda to remember why she left work in the first place. Set amidst the glamour and power of Washington, DC, Amanda Bright @ Home is a novel about status, ambition, marriage, jealousy - and a woman's struggle to discover the things that matter most. Mothers everywhere will laugh and cry with Amanda as she tries to make sense of her life - and discovers that success isn't always measured in the workplace.
