To any outsider, Lauren Anderson has the perfect life: but when her adorable four-year-old son Henry is diagnosed with autism, her perfect life cracks and she finds herself unable to cope with debilitating anxiety and increasingly frequent panic attacks. Allison Perry's life is anything but perfect. She's a thirty-something mom in a dead-end job just trying to get by. She's trying to hold onto her second husband Jim, despite the difficulties of raising a sixteen-year old son. Lauren and Allie have been on-again, off-again friends since middle school, but now their lives collide in ways they never imagined. With their families and their friendship on the line, they need to grow up and realize what's real, what's important and what's forever.
