But as the months passed and Marianne\'s reality was turned upside down, she found herself confronted with a different question: Self-Help can change your life, but is it for the better? With humor, audacity, disarming candor and unassuming wisdom, in Help Me Marianne Power plumbs the trials and tests of being a modern woman in a "have it all" culture, and what it really means to be our very best selves..
