Opinionated, straight-talking, and witty, Tee is a fly forty-something.
Divorced since her daughter, Amber, was young, Tee has been "handling
her business," supporting herself after her would-be songwriter husband
took off for L.A., and she's done all right. Organized, responsible,
hardworking, and loyal, Tee went from being the first employee of a
start-up purveyor of organic lotions to the right hand of the president
of what became a major player in the home and personal fragrance market.
But then everything changes. First, she's outplaced from her longtime
job and doesn't tell anyone. Then she gives her daughter the wedding of
her dreams and, after overindulging in champagne, Tee wakes up in bed
with the younger best man. For the first time in twenty-five years, Tee
doesn't know who she is or what she's going to do every day. Deep in
denial, she continues to live her life as if nothing has changed. After
a series of financial mistakes, miscalculations, and missteps compound
her already shaky situation, she's soon teetering on the edge of
bankruptcy. That's when Tee decides that it's time for her to wake up
and face reality. Beyond "making money," Tee never really decided what
she wanted to do with her life. Then she just stopped thinking about it
and invested her hopes in someone else's dream. Now it's her chance to
invest in herself. Can she step out on faith to follow her own dream?
