Bernadette Fox is infamous. To her Microsoft-expert spouse, she's a fearlessly opinionated companion; to other personal-college moms in Dallas, she's a shame; to create mavens, she's a groundbreaking builder, and to 15-year-old Bee, she's a closest friend and, merely, Mom.Then Bernadette vanishes.

But Bernadetteis accelerating sensitivity to Washington--and people generally--has created her so agoraphobic that the digital helper in Asia today operates her simplest chores.
