When it comes to crazy everything is relative. Unfortunately for Wanda Jo, they're all hers...

On her fortieth birthday housewife Wanda Jo Ashton is expecting her husband's standard gift of an E an E from T—that being Elegant and Expensive from Tiffany's. However, what she gets is the news that her formerly successful, dependable, corporate attorney husband is leaving her to pursue the rich life of a kept man. Left with nothing, she has no choice but to escape the San Francisco area, with her sixteen-year old daughter in tow, and head toward the mountains of West Virginia and the quirky family she left behind twenty years ago. Here Wanda Jo must carve out a future, complete with career and home in the midst of family feuds, computer phobias and the occasional homebrewing explosion before she finally figures out life can indeed began again at forty.
