Lucia thought she had it all fig­ured out — until life in Lon­don as a new mom and expat turns every­thing upside down. She’s just bare­ly keep­ing it togeth­er, when she unex­pect­ed­ly lands a glam­orous job as a phil­an­thropic advi­sor to the posh­est fam­i­lies in Eng­land. But is the world of the uber-wealthy every­thing it’s cracked up to be?

At work, she’s rub­bing elbows with roy­als and tak­ing cham­pagne-fueled meet­ings with heirs to the next gen­er­a­tion of wealth; while at home, her teething one-year-old is up at all hours of the night, and her husband’s grow­ing con­nec­tion to his ex-girl­friend is mak­ing her ques­tion their mar­riage.

Something’s got­ta give in this relat­able and heart­warm­ing dram­e­dy about a woman caught between her career ambi­tions, her family’s needs, and the per­son she’s becom­ing. Can Lucia redis­cov­er her­self before it all falls apart? And can she still do some good in the world while she’s at it?
