Contents.Plot J. Wiatt is a driven career woman (nicknamed the 'Tiger Lady') typical of the 1980s whose fast-paced life leaves her with no time for romance or relaxation (or as the narrator in the beginning puts it she works '5 to 9'), though she derives pleasure from her frantic schedule and demanding job. She works as an advertising executive at a high profile advertising firm on Madison Avenue and lives with an investment banker, Steven Buchner , whose job and life are likewise hectic. Her life is thrown into turmoil when she inherits a toddler, Elizabeth (twins Kristina and Michelle Kennedy ), from a deceased cousin whom she had not seen in over 30 years.J.C. Tries to give Elizabeth up for adoption but finds that she has grown too attached to the child, forcing a reevaluation of her priorities. Mickey boots extreme cold treatment. When Steven learns of this, he is not thrilled.
Explains to Steven that a lot of working people raise kids and she believes she can, too, something Steven has no desire to partake in. The couple amicably break-up and Steven moves out.
Is left to raise the child on her own, though she hires a nanny to watch Elizabeth while she's at work.Her boss, Fritz Curtis tells her that Hughes Larrabee , the head of 'The Food Chain,' a major organization that owns and operates many brands of foods, is looking for someone to manage The Food Chain account. Fritz tells J.C. That landing this account could make her a partner. Manages to land the account with her tough business attitude and is therefore put in charge of it.

S young apprentice whom she also recruited 2 years ago, is ready for the big time and will be on her team with the Food Chain account.Caring for the child soon occupies much of her time and her career begins to suffer, especially when she starts bringing Elizabeth to classes that are intended to help boost babies' intelligence.
As a result, Ken starts taking up the slack on the Food Chain account without J.C.' S consent, though it pleases Fritz and Larrabee. Assuming correctly that `the boys' club' is taking over, especially when Ken starts making decisions without her, this starts to get on J.C.'
Frustrated at the interference, J.C. Tells Fritz that she not only wants Ken off the Food Chain account but off of her team entirely.To her surprise, Fritz tells her that he's decided that `for the good of the account as well as the company', he's going to take her off the Food Chain account instead and have Ken take over full time. He tells J.C. That he's made his choice that got this company grossing millions of dollars a year, but has no idea how many grandchildren he has and she needs to do the same if she wants to continue her career.J.C.
Is offended as they wouldn't have had the account in the first place if she hadn't gotten it, but Fritz, knowing how unstable J.C. Has become, tells her that he can't afford to take risks with the Food Chain account. He informs J.C.
That he wants her to do low profile a.k.a. Accounts no one else wants to deal with from now on as he feels they would be better suited for her now that she is raising a child. This is a very thinly disguised cover-up for the aforementioned rampant sexism in the advertising industry, however J.C. Has too much pride to take such a big step down and quits her job instead.She moves into a house in the country in. Purchasing the home without first having seen it in person or having it she finds it is riddled with problems (failing plumbing and heating, lack of water, bad roof). Suffering a and on the brink of, she sees an opportunity to sell she had concocted for Elizabeth from fresh ingredients.
Amid the clamor for her new products she develops a relationship with local Jeff Cooper. At first annoyed by him, she is opposed to Jeff's overtures and is focused now on returning to New York as fast as possible.
