Nothing can really prepare you for the terrible anxiety and overwhelming fatigue of having a baby. Florence is a first time mother at 35 and her carefully planned life is about to be rudely interrupted in ways she has never imagined. This pregnancy brings also back memories of her own birth for her mother Jane. Florence has never understood the reality of her mother’s life as an unmarried 18 year old struggling to keep her baby in the tumultuous 1960’s. Old resentments are stirred up and secrets are revealed with the birth of this new baby and ultimately the two women are brought closer together.
