Thirty-something Linda wants what her neighbours have, but her carefully laid plans are about to come unstuck.
Fifty-something Philippa’s youngest child is about to leave home; as she mourns the successful career she once had, she reluctantly takes a step down.
Seventy-something Olive is pursued by unresolved grief, but a wonderful find gets her out and about again.
As each woman’s story unfolds, we learn that between the rock of having children and the hard place of not having them lies a kind of love that can make you lose your bearings.
