Isabel finds herself grappling with ethically-complex matters of the heart as she tries to juggle her responsibilities to friends, family, and the philosophical community.

With two small boys to raise, a mountain of articles to edit for the Review of Applied Ethics, and the ever-increasing demands of her niece, Cat, who always seems to need a helping hand at the deli, Isabel barely has any time for herself. Her husband, Jamie, suggests acquiring extra help, and she reluctantly agrees. In no time at all, Isabel and Jamie have a new au pair, and Isabel has an intelligent assistant editor to share her workload. Both women, though, have romantic entanglements that threaten to interfere with their work, and Isabel must decide how best to navigate this tricky domestic situation. Can an employer ever inject herself into her employees' affairs?

Meanwhile, Isabel makes the acquaintance of Patricia, the mother of Charlie's friend Basil. Though Isabel finds Patricia rather pushy, she tries to be civil and supportive, especially given that Patricia is raising her son on her own, without the help of his father, a well-known Edinburgh organist, also named Basil. But when Isabel sees Patricia in the company of an unscrupulous man, she begins to rethink her assumptions. Isabel must once again call on her kindness and keen intelligence to determine the right course of action, at home, at work, and in the schoolyard.

Nice size for valet
Color: 1-Brown, Size: S
Good size. Looks nice. Keep it handy on night stand. Holds everything from my husband's pockets & doesn't oversize the table.

Honestly Perfect
Color: 1-Black, Size: S
As a student, this Valet has made my life so much easier! I wake up around 530-6, and it's really easy to feel discombobulated so early. I keep everything I need for the day in this valet before I head out: Chapstick, gum, phone, wallet, keys, watch, even change for parking. It just makes my day so much more efficient because I can grab it and head out w/o thinking. Not to mention the material it's super sleek, affordable, and it looks great on any nightstand. It prevents me from missing anything, and its honestly one of the best investments I've made in college for just getting my day started. Thanks again Baoyun! Mad love, - Anthony

Beige Liner picks up lint, difficult to clean
Color: 1-Black, Size: S, Color: 1-Black, Size: S
I purchased this for my husband to organize things on his nightstand. The design is good and it looks nice, but the interior part with the beige suede picks up dark lint and is difficult to clean. It just makes it look dirty. I've tried vacuuming it, using a lint brush, taking it off with tape, etc. to no avail. It would be better if the inside was the same black material as the exterior.

Great for use atop the bedside table!
Very nice! I bought this for my father for his birthday, and he really liked the gift! It's a nice little place for him to keep all of his essentials together on the bedside table. No more losing his watch, keys, wallet, etc. or knocking them off the table!
