Thirty-nine year old Ellie Bircham wakes up one Friday morning,
sliding face-first into the worst day of her life. She has a
hangover. Her kids and her cat all hate her. Her government job is
being transferred from Ottawa to Belleville, three hours away. She
doesn't have enough money to pay all the bills this month. Her
eighteen-year-old daughter, Kellie, is hiding secrets and has taken
to staying out all night. Her middle child, Nicholas, is becoming
more and more withdrawn. Her intrusive mother is trying to run her
life. Her landlord is throwing them all out. And she hasn't been on
a date since the weekend her youngest child, Morgana, was
conceived. On the advice of one of her co-workers, Ellie signs up
for a night school course, based on the powerful Emotional
SMARTS(r) system, developed by Dr. June Donaldson in Calgary. She
has reviewed the manuscript and has given written permission for
her work to be referenced in this way. Using this powerful system,
Ellie learns to identify her own feelings, deal more constructively
with conflict, stand up for herself without bullying others, talk
so her kids will hear her, solve problems and make decisions. Derek
Munro, another student in the class, manages to get Ellie out for
her first date in twelve years, and then surmounts many
difficulties before they make it to the second date. Ellie starts
to find she has options. Her boss offers her an important and
challenging place in a start-up that she and her partner want to
launch. Derek wants her as his partner at his plant nursery, in
more than one way. She finds the family a new home, gets her kids
to start talking to her and learns to deal with her mother. When
Derek finally pops the question, Ellie will be ready to answer,
"Yes"
