Summary: The story of a long-widowed proprietor of a top flight haute couture resale shop and her four adult children, who, in their search to find the right partners for themselves, encounter and struggle with some very difficult and modern problems facing young people today.
Kate Madison's stylish resale shop in SoHo has supported her children. Now they are ready to forge lives of their own. Isabelle, a dedicated attorney, is in line to make partner at her Wall Street firm when she falls for a client she represents in a criminal case. Julie, a young designer, meets a man who seems too good to be true, marries quickly, gives up her job, and moves to Los Angeles to be at his side. Justin is a struggling writer whose push for children with his partner before they're financially or emotionally ready is putting a strain on the relationship. Willie, a tech expert, makes a choice that shocks them all, with a woman twelve years older. For Kate, the hardest lesson will be that she can't protect the children she loves from the choices they make.
