Setting: Fictional town of Langhorne, Missouri Corinne Whitman Pennington, 32, Grant and Audrey Whitman’s oldest daughter, has always stayed home with her children––with the blessing of her husband. But now that the baby is weaned, and Jesse’s job has him traveling two weeks of every month, Corinne is restless. She remembers her college days, when she felt creative and energized and interesting. But she dropped out three semesters short of getting her degree in interior design. She loves their three little girls with a passion, but she’s afraid she’s losing herself under the masks of Wife and Mommy. And Jesse seems restless, too. She’s always trusted her husband, but what man wouldn’t face temptations traveling to New York and L.A. with female colleagues who are far younger and far more fascinating than Corinne? Jesse Pennington, 33, , is restless. But not for the reasons Corinne seems to think. As a sales manager for a manufacturing firm, he makes enough money that Corinne can stay home with their daughters and afford a few of the nicer things in life. But Jesse has discovered too late that his business degree has nothing to do with what he really wants to do with his life. More and more, he realizes that what God gifted him for, and what he daydreams about doing, is teaching. And not at the college level either. Jesse would love nothing more than teaching high school math and maybe coaching. But if he quits work and goes back to school to get his degree in education, there's no way they can keep their house in the suburbs, or allow Corinne to stay home with the girls. Is he being selfish to even broach the subject? But can he ignore what truly feels like God tugging at his heart? And if he answers that tug, what will his in-laws think of him? Grant and Audrey are the only positive "parents" he's ever known and what they think of his plans matters, maybe a little too much.
