He finds a new position that compels them to move hundreds of miles away, where Abby is plagued by guilt and loneliness. When she discovers a group of women facing similar challenges, together they seek a way out of their unhappiness.
A story of midlife reinvention, letting go to embrace the present, and the importance of friends.
