How do I negotiate the kind of contract that will work for me? Or is this my chance to do something completely different? How do I convince an employer that I'll be a valuable asset, despite having different priorities? And what about all the practicalities, has the world of work changed - will I cope? Whether you have been out of the workforce for one year or ten, Let go of my leg! is a unique, no-nonsense and extremely practical look at the transition from kitchen to office. Let go of my leg! takes you through every stage of the decision making process. It will help you find answers to questions such as : is work the right decision for you and your family?

It then takes you through the whole process of where to start looking for a job; putting together a convincing cv career gap and all; how to get all the help you need and finally what to tell the children? Let go of my leg! is packed with advice from leading employers, recruitment consultants and stories of what more than fifty women have done and how it has worked for them.
