For Henry, who's been romantically struggling for years, it's love at first sight. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIsabel is not so quickly convinced, well aware of her own baggage. Her daughter, Lauren, is a stunning, smart, and intuitive twenty-one year-old with issues-most notably, her addiction to opiates and alcohol. Lauren's been to hell and back, taking her mom with her most of the way. She's got one last chance before Isabel cuts her off for good. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese three personalities become strangely entwined in a poignant, uplifting, funny, and fascinating, yet unexpected journey.
