Divorced mother Ann Romano moves to Indianapolis with her daughters, rebellious Julie and wisecracking Barbara, where she struggles to raise the teens…
Ann faces her first parental crisis as a newly divorced mother of two teenage daughters when she refuses to allow her older daughter Julie to go on a co-ed backpacking trip.
Ann Romano, 17 years married and 10 months divorced, meets a handsome airline pilot who has some lofty ideas -- and Ann thinks she's ready to fly. But when she tells her two teenage daughters about the situation, a simple weekend becomes a complex affair.
After Julie and Barbara spend a weekend with their father, they come home enthralled with his vivacious new girlfriend, creating a crisis at home. Ann denies being jealous of her ex-husband's beautiful new friend, but she doesn't have much success at coping with her true feelings.
There's a man in Ann's life -- he wants something Ann has; she wants something he has. In Ann's case, she wants a job; in his case, he wants Ann. As Ann grapples with the dilemma, everyone around her urges her to use her body, not her brains, to get the job.
Newly-divorced Ann Romano is thrown into an emotional turmoil by David's proposal of marriage. Ann's dilemma is not made easier by her "helpful" advisors -- Julie, Barbara and the ever-present Schneider.
Julie is obsessed with the idea that she must attend the same private school as her new, rich friend, leaving Ann with the problem of wanting to give her daughter the best, but not being able to afford it. As Ann tries to convince Julie that she is not a "deprived child," she's also having a tough time trying to convince David that his unending generosity is neither needed nor welcome.
