| Plot Summary of Alex Handiworth... Defender of the Universe & Mom Extraordinaire |
|---|
"Armed only with exhaustion, rage, and a mother's protective instinct, Alexander Handiworth knocks out a terrorist threatening the pilot of a plane on which she and her two sons are traveling. She makes national headlines and reporters hound her relentlessly for weeks, as Alex continues on a series of adventures as an average mom who becomes a reluctant heroine. Along the way, Alex juggles her baby's poopy diapers, sarcasm from her 12-year-old son (whom she refers to as a "TIT": teenager in training), apprehending terrorists, convenience-store robbers, and schoolyard drug dealers...not to mention a handsome movie star and a rogue reporter. "
