When Dana Ferris loses her job and separates from her husband in the same week she turns 40, she decides not to rush into rebuilding the life she had.
Instead, she writes to her best friend Nichole and makes herself a strange promise: for the next year, she'll take one risk at a time and stop apologizing for wanting things she was always told were impractical, selfish, or too late.
A solo trip leads to an unexpected romance. A business idea she's spent years talking herself out of becomes real. Her marriage finally gets an honest ending. Her mother pushes every old button she has. And the more Dana changes, the more complicated her relationships become.
Because starting over isn't just about finding the courage to choose a different life. Sometimes it's about figuring out whether the life you thought you wanted was ever yours in the first place.
