Novelist Bill Borgens has been struggling to keep it together since his wife Erica left him for a younger man three years earlier. Instead of working on a new book, he obsesses about his ex, spies on her and her new husband, and insists that their sixteen-year-old son, Rusty, set a place at the Thanksgiving table for Erica every year, even though she never comes. This Thanksgiving, their 19-year-old daughter Sam comes home from college with momentous news: her first novel has been accepted for publication. When Bill suggests that Sam share her good news with Erica, she balks at having anything to do with the woman she believes betrayed her father. Deeply wounded by her mother's earlier departure, Sam has constructed a wall between herself and love. Meanwhile, Rusty is just the kind of guy his sister abhors - romantic, needy and hoping to rescue a damsel in distress. A tale of family, love and how endings can make new beginnings. There are no rewrites in life, only second chances.
