Rose Walker's fourteen-year marriage is not on her mind the day she decides to work from home. But her marriage is so much a part of her that she is shocked when a process server brings her a divorce petition and a letter from her husband, Hal, announcing he is leaving her. He tells her that he has met someone who shares his goals and makes him feel young and alive again. As her last rational act before going to the business they built together, she asks her day-worker to stay late so her nearly eleven-year-old son, Brad, will have someone waiting when he comes home from school. Rose is pulled over for speeding while driving to work. The officer recognizes she is distressed, and after giving her a ticket, escorts her to the office where she and her husband are brokers. Rose is left alone to come to terms with the shock of Hal's unexpected departure, and must also find a way to break the news to their son, who dotes on his father. A little over three years later, Rose and Brad have rebuilt their lives and on the surface live a normal life. Rose has started her own company and is successful. Brad is in eighth grade, but is insecure and carries a burden of guilt over his parents' breakup. Then Rose meets a new man in her life.
