โฆ Synopsis
Candice Bartlett is determined to push the limits on her radio talk show, The Adjustable Lives of Women. Against the instincts of Barbara Ann, her cautiously pessimistic producer, Candice allows her unscripted impulsivity to guide her listeners and callers through an exploration of happiness, sadness, and hope-because Candice knows that when the facts are fractured, life can be a bumpy road.
As menopause misery, shoe envy, and two rogue Southern belles collide in the office, callers tell their stories about PTSD, family challenges, prescription mental-health medication gone mad, and heart-wrenching grief, the death of a child. Candice gives herself the authority to speak-and to grieve, to sleep, and to shift her thinking in her own flawed life.
The Adjustable Lives of Women is packed with struggle and hope, applauding women and their lives.
