When Tara Silverthorne catches her husband with donuts in places donuts should never be, her twenty-year marriage implodes faster than a botched soufflé.

Fleeing her suburban life for a trendy Richmond apartment, forty-two-year-old Tara thinks the hardest part of starting over will be learning to parallel park. She’s wrong. Landing a job at a high-end shoe company introduces her to torturous designer heels and her charming French boss, who’s still nursing a decades-old crush. Between her meddling seventy-something neighbor Dinah, a hot twenty-five-year-old practice boyfriend, and a mysterious cidery owner who may or may not be involved with the Vietnamese mob, Tara’s new single life is anything but simple.

Add in a daughter dropping out of Harvard, a son suspended for defending the family honor, and a mother having her own midlife crisis, and Tara’s “fresh start” feels more like controlled chaos. But when unexpected new responsibilities come her way, she discovers that sometimes the family you choose is exactly the one you need.
