Putting together a new, independent life wasn't easy for Julia Delaine. Separating from her skirt-chasing husband Phillip took courage; his steamroller personality had been flattening her for decades. Coping with the reactions of her two grown daughters, strong-willed Sandra and dreamy, indecisive Yvonne wasn't easy either. And coming to terms with her reawakening sexuality and the new, younger man who was courting her was difficult—but exciting. Then, on top of everything else, Julia landed the coveted job of producer/director at her local television station. Julia had arrived—but she wasn't so sure it was the right place. Maybe the values and dreams she'd grown up with were the best ones, after all. And maybe it might not be a bad idea to let Phillip back into her life for keeps…on a whole new set of terms.
