But youll find they have lessons they can now teach you. Kate Morgan is an esteemed Manhattan lawyer. After losing her beloved husband in a tragic accident, shes successfully raised their three children single-handedly. Now in their twenties, she slightly smugly feels that they are well set up to travel the path she planned. Except why is her eldest daughter, Tamara, a high-flying marketing executive, so secretive and why wont she commit to a relationship? Then theres Anthony, Kates middle child, who is engaged to a wealthy New York socialite – it will be the wedding of the year, so why doesnt he seem happy? And as for her youngest daughter, Claire, at twenty-six shes on a successful career path until she suddenly reveals shes in love with, in Kates opinion, the wrong man. We all know that life rarely turns out the way we plan for our children. But its about listening, learning when to let go and letting them live the life that makes them happy.
