Scholar Queen

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Scholarship there lived a queen who knew that in order to reign in her kingdom she must be a scholar. Somehow she had missed that training, now she must make due and try to catch up. So she went to the royal advisers, the women in her local book group, but their advice was conflicting and she went away more uncertain then before. How could she attend to the affairs of state with her husband, the king, instruct the royal children in the ways of scholarhood and become a scholar herself? What is the nature of the “scholar mom” and can she or should she “do it all”? What is her Happy Ending?
