Sinopse

Twenty-five-year-old Elizabeth did not plan to break up his marriage when she had an affair with her law school professor. But she did. Fifteen years later, she&rsquo,s still coming to terms with the consequences of her youthful infatuation: trying to love a stepdaughter who hates her, financially and emotionally supporting an ex-wife who will never forgive the betrayal, and enduring the relentless overtures of a sister-in-law who&rsquo,s determined to be her best friend. As her sister-in-law plunges into a reckless affair and her stepdaughter aggressively explores her sexuality, Elizabeth finds herself forced to reconsider her definition of love, commitment, and responsibility&mdash,a process that finally releases her from the shackles of her past mistakes and shows her the way to her own happily-ever-after.áTEASER&ldquo,What&rsquo,s that?&rdquo,&mdash,This? Nothing. A photograph.áHe looks at the photograph, and demands a story I don&rsquo,t want to tell.á&ldquo,Isn&rsquo,t this what all women want? A lover who as passionately interested in the quotidian details of their boring, dysfunctional lives as in their desirable bodies?&rdquo,áNo. Not me. Or do I? I start to talk. I tell him about&hellip, about all of them. And, inadvertently, me. Things I&rsquo,ve never put into words for anyone before&hellip,á&ldquo,That&rsquo,s the game you and I are playing. Do you not know that? I am looking for the key. You&rsquo,re trying not to give it to me. But you want to play, and so you keep on talking, and so eventually, you will.&rdquo,áI&rsquo,m careful not to say too much. I am not going to take my sociopathic lover of the moment into the tragedy of my life.á&ldquo,Why not? Tragedy is erotic. The things that make you laugh don&rsquo,t arouse, lover. Check yourself.&rdquo,áReally? I&rsquo,m doing this? Why?á&ldquo,Because you want to. Because you&rsquo,re compelled. Does it matter? Just talk.&rdquo,áSo. I do.
