When your old life ceases to exist, it's time to build a new one . . . It's early summer on the French Riviera when Vivienne Wilson arrives for a one-woman writers�' retreat after learning that her philandering husband of 30 years, wants a divorce. There to collect the shell-shocked Vivienne is recently widowed Maxine Zonszain, who is struggling to come to terms with her empty life. To add insult to injury she receives another knockout punch with a letter from her very estranged first husband . . . Florist extraordinaire, Olivia Murray, shares the Villa that Vivienne is renting. She's content with life - but sad to add another failed relationship to her growing list and longs to meet 'The One'. Life under the summer sun in Antibes becomes a challenging time for all three women as secrets are shared, problems halved as they forge unexpected friendships and new embark on new adventures. Sometimes life's surprises turn out to be unwanted but just sometimes the 'new normal' makes for a happier life than the one lost.
