'Nora Fawn is a fifty something year old single mother. She kind of still looks like her younger self, but a really, really tired version. Divorced, living alone … or alone as you can be when your mother visits often for a Double Wine (whine, wine) because her nursing home doesn’t let its residents drink on the premises.
'But Nora’s life is about to get complicated.
'After four years of silence, Nora’s younger daughter, Hope, calls and says ‘I’m coming home, I’m getting married, the wedding is in three weeks and, as the mother of the bride… it’s your job to help me make it all happen.’
