Quando chegou ao Upper East Side com o marido e o filho pequeno, Wednesday Martin foi jogada em uma tribo superfechada de mães megarricas e glamorosas com ambições altíssimas e determinação ferrenha. Em um mundo onde cumprimentos não são retribuídos, juntar as crianças para brincar é um esporte sangrento e até caminhar pela calçada é um exercício de dominação e submissão, ela sofreu um verdadeiro choque cultural.

For millennia, the woman’s most sensitive part has been maligned, misrepresented, and cut out entirely from medical texts, our culture, and our general understanding of female sexuality. Not anymore. Join Wednesday Martin in the “cliteracy” movement - a stimulating quest from ancient Greece to medieval Europe to the Costa Rican rain forest to rediscover the significance, the symbolic power, the cultural history, the intimidation, the scandal, the vast terrain, and the pleasure of “the button”.

As an awkward high schooler, Wednesday struggled to find her place in Grand Rapids. Until a handsome senior encouraged her to believe how talented, smart, and wonderfully different she was. Naturally, Wednesday fell for him...He was falling, too. For another boy. Yet this one-sided crush proved life altering, paving the way for a string of “boyfriends” who offered Wednesday something deeper than physical connection.
