Thirty-something Stacie Maroni Noth should have been on top of the world. She married Ted Noth, a prominent lawyer and son of an even more prominent lawyer. Despite the high society and country club opportunities, Stacie went against the Noth family culture and maintained her independence - she got a good job as HR specialist at a large insurance company. She also volunteers at a local shelter for victims of domestic violence. Volunteering is good, unless it hits too close to home.  Moving out on her own, the divorce pending, Stacie finds herself a widow instead of a divorcee.
