Claire, Fanny and Amy. Three generations of women who are busy leading three completely different lives. Not quite understanding where each other is coming from, finally, through many different circumstances, realizing they need to try.
Fanny is 78 years old, living independently still, but with a husband who's suffering from Parkinson's and she's not quite sure how much longer she can pull it off.
Her daughter, Claire, is a single mother, never married, who has finally found not only a man she feels she can spend her life with, but a sudden need to fulfill her passion of painting.
As Claire is about to leave for the summer to head to her dream of painting on Cape Cod, she has her daughter Amy show up out of the blue after a year and half of silence..............and go into labor on her floor.
Suddenly she has a daughter back again, a new grandbaby she knew nothing about, and a handsome renter who reminds her that regardless of her new circumstances, he has a lease on her house for the summer and no intention of leaving.
This is the story of three generations of women who must come together and lean on each other to not only make it through their issues, but to thrive as individuals trying to achieve their personal goals.
