Now she's a middle-aged mother in the midst of hipsters, homesick and resentful until she embarks on a new love affair--with New York City and three new friends. Julia has left her family for a mini breakdown and a room of her own. Trophy wife Christy is a bit adrift, as only those who live in penthouses can be.

And all of them are starting to learn that what you want in your twenties isn't always what you need in your forties... Includes a readers guide |
