During the next nine months they€ll return to the diner over and over. They€ll come to find Maddie. They€ll end up finding themselves€"learning what it means to be a mother, lover, wife, and friend. By reaching out and holding on, these four women will unite to show us life can be transformed at the most surprising moments.
