Lainey Hollingsworth, a 35-year-old wife and mother who loves to be at the center of her big messy family, already has an incredibly full life. Her two children, Xav, a happy-go-lucky preteen and Tierney, a hormonally-charged sixteen-year-old, keep her on her toes, and on top of that she"s wife and literary coordinator to her bestselling author husband Tom, with whom she"s still very much in love. That"s not to mention caretaker of her beloved adoptive father, Peter, former head of a venerable London publishing house and now suffering from Alzheimer"s, who lives with them. Plus stepmom to Max, her troubled 21-year-old stepson from her husband"s first marriage, who"s locked himself in the garage with his guitar, smoking weed, getting DUIs, and bringing home girl after girl. She also plays therapist to her best friend Stacy, who"s trying to recover from unemployment and a crippling divorce. Everything depends on Lainey! And she is planning on taking some long-delayed time to herself...
