- Synopsis
- Single mom Joanna is stretched too thin, and her delicate balancing act can only go on for so long . . .Joanna is forty-three, a long-divorced mother of two daughters, and an elementary school teacher and vice principal. Her eldest daughter ran away at fourteen, and returned home at seventeen with a newborn son, a little boy Joanna adores. Her younger girl has type 1 diabetes, and a major teenage attitude towards Joanna, life, and her disease. Joanna's been juggling too many balls for too long, supporting her kids, her ex-husband (court-ordered support for him), and her pothead mother (personal guilt-ordered support for her). In her "time off"--summer, when school is out and teachers don't get paid--she keeps her family afloat by working part-time jobs as a librarian and at the marina. And now, her best friend, a nurse practitioner, tells her she's dropped one of those balls she juggles. She's confirmed what Joanna's been denying to herself: Joanna is pregnant. Now, on top of everything else, Joanna will have to decide how to deal with her uptight little community--which is going to pillory her--and how to tell her teenager the big news.
