Description

At 44, Mel's life is marked by uncertainty. A New York divorcee, she struggles to come to terms with her own faith and the possibility of motherhood. When she agrees to care for her stepdaughter's challenging son, Billy, two afternoons a week, she prays that this act of kindness will have a positive impact on her own life. As Mel navigates her new role as caregiver, she faces unexpected challenges and opportunities. Her faith begins to shift towards Buddhism under the influence of her friend Anto, while a friend's problem grips her life, forcing her to re-evaluate her priorities. Will Mel be able to find a sense of purpose and meaning in her life, or will life take an unexpected turn? This deeply empathic debut explores how we live now and make meaning in lives that rarely work to plan.
