Summary
Summary
Four strong women. All working in a family business. But what happens when they begin to want different things? And what about the men âe" and the children âe" in their lives?
Susie Moran has always been the breadwinner in her family. Her husband was the one who was there for their three girls. But now he wants something of his past back âe" the life he had before Susieâe(tm)s career took off, before they had children. And those children donâe(tm)t see their motherâe(tm)s business the way she has always seen it, thereby threatening the balance she has worked so hard to achieve.
And then, amidst the simmering tensions, someone significant from the past, someone almost forgotten, turns up. The problems of the past, the present, and the future all become challenges to the stability of both family and work. Which relationships âe" if any âe" will survive?
