Tess Thomason, a plain-Jane, divorced mother, is faced with an empty nest, a failing career, and a lonely future. And that’s the good news!

At her 50^th birthday party, she’s given a stack of self-improvement gift cards by her well-meaning family, implying that she’s fat, frumpy, and wrinkled.

Determined to change her miserable, boring life, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. But her resolve is nearly derailed by a surprise pregnancy, hurry-up wedding, unexpected houseguests, love and life lost, and a new relationship that keeps getting shoved to the back burner.

If she can keep her family together during a hilarious, roller-coaster season of life, maybe Tess will rediscover her own self-worth.
