Getting to 50/50: How Working Parents Can Have It All by Sharon Meers and Joanna Strober, with a foreword by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, publishes at the end of October. To launch the book, Sharon and Joanna will be appearing at events around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Sharon and Joanna will speak first at Books, Inc. Alameda on October 25th at 7pm. They will then be speaking at Book Passage Marin, in Corte Madera on October 27th at 4pm. They will finish up their launch events at Kepler's Bookstore in Menlo Park on October 30th at 7:30pm.

Getting to 50/50 was also recently reviewed by About.com in the Fatherhood section. Wayne Parker wrote, "Getting to 50/50 offers hope and help, perspective and advice and ultimately, some extraordinarily practical approaches to making a family work, regardless of the specific challenges that family faces."

The Daily Mail, UK featured Getting to 50/50 in an article about how women try to emulate role models like Sheryl Sandberg, but find they are becoming more and more tired from all the multi-tasking.
