February Kelly Summary

Kelly tears open the envelope containing Power magazine and sees a picture of herself on the cover in the horrible lavender sweater, knee deep in her closet debris, with the caption, Having It All? Why a Working Girl Can't Win. She reads the bold quotation, "THIS IS SO MUCH HARDER THAN I EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE." She looks up at the cabinet where she keeps the Scotch and vodka and thinks a glass topped off with the Percocets left over from her C-section and it wouldn't hurt so bad. She's determined not to go down that road, however and beginning to understand how her mother could have. She continues to read how as a magna cum laude graduate with a promising career and married to a Wharton whiz kid she should have had it all, but baby made trouble.
