For more than 25 years Adam@Home has been a fixture in newspapers, providing a comedic portrait of Adam Newman, a man of the times whose endearing experiences in life mirror our own.
Adam's decision to leave the rat race of corporate life for the freedom (and uncertainty) of self-employment was a pioneering decision that has since become a trend in the contemporary workforce. Supported by his wife, Laura, who herself works outside the home, Adam has weathered the ups and downs of the New Economy with oafish grace and subtle wit.
Though the Computer Age helped make his career transition possible, Adam's grasp of technology remains tenuous at best, and it's often his computer that has the upper hand. Luckily, Adam's endless pursuit of the perfect latte provides a temporary escape from his vital nemesis.
As a stay-at-home dad, Adam also has a front-row seat in the lives of his three children, Clayton, Katy and baby Nick. And much to the kids' adolescent embarrassment, Adam has eagerly accepted the roles of carpool driver, field-trip chaperone and boy-band devotee.
The perpetual struggle for work-life balance is as familiar to readers as their own alarm clocks. With Adam@Home, people will find a lighthearted reflection of life that may tip that scale in their favor.
