Alice Jones’ world revolves in tight little circles until her son leaves the nest and she befriends a woman who reminds her she was someone before becoming David’s mom, Eddie’s wife. Alice wants to know ‘who she really is, who she is meant to be,’ and resolves, “Now or never: To thine own self be true.”

In her old diaries she revisits the tumultuous relationships and radical feminist days of her youth in Connecticut. Once reconciled with her past and fully aware of the present, Alice’s interminable longing leads to passionate self-realization.
