Plot Summary of My Little One
"Infertility has robbed Emma Bronfman of her self-esteem, self-image and self-respect. At almost 35 years old, Emma can't seem to get her life together. Her father is about to marry a young, fertile bimbo, her in-laws are flying in to visit for a month and Emma is wondering how she will survive their visit, she is at the end of her rope at a dead-end job teaching typing at a business school, and she is sure that her husband's late nights at a prominent L.A. talent agency mean he is having an affair."
Nancy Machlis Rechtman, Resident Scholar
