When youΓ’β¬β’re in trouble and sinking fast, whom do you call?
Piper Nelson is stuck. She canΓ’β¬β’t quite stay away from the husband she divorced. She isnΓ’β¬β’t always attentive to the high school students she teaches. And even she admits that sheΓ’β¬β’s been drinking too much and seeking out unsuitable men. PiperΓ’β¬β’s mother, married to a celebrity evangelist, and her sister, who's immersed in plans to wed a professional football player and star in a reality TV show, are both too self-absorbed to sympathize with PiperΓ’β¬β’s angst. They tell her to get a grip. But how can Piper ever really recover from the blow she suffered five years ago, when a car accident took the life of her young daughter?
When PiperΓ’β¬β’s ex-husband announces that his new girlfriend is pregnant, Piper is forced to take stock. Realizing that itΓ’β¬β’s time for a change is one thing, but actually making it happen is quite another. And despite what she thinks, Piper canΓ’β¬β’t do it alone Lucky for her, a couple of crazy, funny new friends are ready to step in when she needs them most and show her how to live and laugh again.
