Or she could be, she is so real, her pain and her loss, loss of who she is inside with social life and obligations, children and a marriage that is seriously lacking in heart. Jacqueline Luckette has created a wonderful and heartfelt as well as sometimes humerous story of a woman on the quest to find herself.

On the surface, Lena Spencer appears to have it all. She and her wealthy husband Randall have two wonderful children, and they live a life of luxury. In reality, however, Lena finds that happiness is elusive. Randall is emotionally distant, her son has developed a drug habit, and her daughter is disgusted by her mother's "overbearing behavior." When Randall decides that he's had enough of marriage counseling, he offers his wife an ultimatum: "Be grateful for all I've done for you or leave." Lena, realizing that money can't solve her problems and that her husband is no longer the man she married, decides to choose the latter.
