While dual-income households have become common, the anxieties of parents preparing to return to work remain unresolved.

In particular, parents have commented on its usefulness for addressing challenges many working parents face, such as:
- Anxiety before and after returning to work
- Division of roles with partners
- Conflict over career continuation
The book provides stage-by-stage explanations covering pregnancy, parental leave, return to work, the 'first-grade wall,' and beyond.
