Kate Mayer seems to have it all: a nice suburban house, two loving children and a devoted husband. But Kate is anything but happy. She is disappointed not only with her marriage, but with her entire life. In her pursuit of happiness, this frustrated mother files for divorce and gets her first-ever job, working in a small real estate agency. To complicate matters, Kate finds herself strongly attracted to her kindhearted boss, Mac. The surprising twist? Mac happens to be a woman. Will Kate have the courage to risk following her heart? It's one woman's emotional journey of self-discovery. Written by Lifetime Television
I really enjoyed this movie; in fact I wish it was longer (or that the characters - all of them- would be brought back for a sequel). The movie isn't perfect (for example, I think the daughters and husbands issues were settled a little too easily, but I guess you have to expect that in a 2 hour movie). The best thing about this movie was the cast; terrific to a person. But for me, Wendy Crewson was exceptional. Her performance resonated with such emotional honesty I was really touched by it. I frankly think I liked the movie as much as I did because of her performance.
