We've all heard that little voice from time to time. The one that wants something more, better, or different. When that voice that pushes bestselling author Julia Dunham to the edge, the moment is captured and immediately goes viral. What is the Queen of Self-Help supposed to do when none of her answers can save her from the mess she's created? She learns the hard way that life can't always be figured out in eight easy steps.

Add to her turmoil a looming deadline, a nasty case of writer's block, and a Summer Retreat revived by her daughter Gracie. Gradually, with the help of her family, friends, and a little book on tidying up, Julia starts the process of creating new rules for herself and begins to understand the true meaning of letting go. Will Julia ever find peace in a world where everything feels so conflicted, or will her old instincts kick in and ruin more lives than just her own?
