Meg Norton is ill-equipped to succeed in the mom-eat-mom private
school pressure cooker of twenty-first century Southern California.
Always feeling as if she missed the Cool Mom Memo, Meg tries to
play the part of perfect mother to daughter Annie and son Charlie
and devoted wife to husband, Chuck. When Charlie's odd behavior at
his posh private preschool begins to alienate the other kids and
their moms, Meg finds herself torn between her husband's desire for
the perfect family and her son's need to march to the beat of a
drummer only he can hear. Feeling isolated and alone she retreats
into a nightly jug of chardonnay. While Meg's marriage reaches the
breaking point, Charlie receives a diagnosis that rocks her world.
Meg realizes that to be the mom Charlie deserves, reclaim her life
and keep her family together, the private schools and the
chardonnay have got to go. If the measure of a mom is the success
of her children, then what kind of mom raises a child who hides at
birthday parties, wears an old Halloween costume and barks like a
dog during the school Christmas program? LIVING THROUGH CHARLIE is
the story of a boy who teaches his mother to love and accept him
for who he is, and to love and accept herself in the process.
