Breaking Even

Meet Penelope Whittaker, a sensible, soon-to-be-married, accountant.

Or, so she thought.

Penelope was under the impression that she had her path mapped out, until she was hit by an unexpected force: Single Dad. Suddenly, Penelope’s world is turned upside down, and her family and fiance have all been pushed back to second place.

Will she choose love, or, possibility? What would you choose?

Dollars to Donuts

April Patterson had the idea moving to Boxwood Hills would be like stepping into a fairytale. She'd envisioned quiet, tree lined streets, friendly neighbors and a chance to see if love was going to be the answer.

Boy, was she mistaken.

Instead of happily-ever-after, April's been grasping for privacy as she plays “Dodge the Neighbor”, found herself an unwitting player in an eyebrow raising cul-de-sac mystery and being forced to examine her relationship motives ... all before unpacking her last box.

Will she be able to muddle her way through and get it all sorted? Betchya dollars to donuts she gets plenty of chances to try.

Favorable Conditions

Can you imagine being forty-five, your last child has moved on to college and the time is ripe for you to blaze a new trail into your future? Pat Keegan was under the impression that once her child rearing years were complete she and her husband would walk hand in hand toward a rose colored future.

Fat chance.

Join Pat as she jumps feet first back into the world outside her door, takes on a new business venture, is pursued by a much younger man and has to muddle her way through more emotions than she knew she had - all to finally attain her goal of rediscovering who she is and what she wants from the next phase of her life.

Tales from the Laundry Pile

Claire Jamieson has moved back home to Boxwood Hills.

And, she's not alone.

Trailing behind her overworked laundry basket is her husband and their energetic twin boys.


Claire had always thought that once she'd left the nest, she'd never return. Now that she has, she's wondering what type of bird that makes her... Cuckoo? When she has a moment to pause and catch her breath, she'll let you know.

Teapots and Tequila Shots

If sixty is the new fifty and fifty the new forty, it would go a long way to explain why Ginny Hughes' life has gone from foreseeable to freewheeling.

Instead of just playing it safe with gardening and grandchildren, she’s daring to slip on her sling-backs and discover life still has a lot to offer… if she’s willing to dance outside her comfort zone.


Grab a teacup, or a shot glass, whichever strikes your fancy, and join Ginny as she pushes past the notions of what it means to be a woman “of a certain age”.

Home is Where the Heartburn is...

Have you ever had “one of those days”?

Paula Dempsey is having one of those months.

A renovation has delayed their move into her new house, leaving her family with only one option: her parents' house. 

Paula questions if they can stay united and survive until they can move into their new home, or if the disorder will cause her to lose her husband too.

From There to Here

Rebecca Thatcher can't remember the last time she felt inspired about her life.

But that's about to change.

Rebecca's daughter has exciting news. She's engaged! The announcement is a shocker for Rebecca - she had no idea her daughter was even dating - and suddenly her uninspiring life begins to transform into a landscape of hidden truths, unexpected surprises and revelations.

This is a journey of a woman taking an honest look at herself and what she wants from life as she finds her way home... to herself.
