For Better. For Worse
Lucy stole her friend Roses happily ever after because she wanted Roses husband and Lucy always gets what she wants. Big mistake. Rose was the ideal wife and is the ideal mother; Lucy was the perfect mistress.
As Peters interest diminishes and Lucys domestic responsibilities increase, Lucy wonders if the happily ever after is all a big con. Without a maternal bone in her body shes always playing catch-up in a game where she doesnt know the rules and cant understand what there is to win anyway.
Rose doesnt have the vocabulary to describe Lucy, she doesnt like using expletives. A devoted single mum, she fills her life with labeling school uniforms, organic vegetables and car runs for extracurricular activities. Shes an exemplary mother but the boys seem to need her less and less and withou even plans for the future.
They both envy Connie, who is happily married and is effortlessly balancing two kids with a fulfilling career until, that is, a dangerous old flame flickers back into view at the school gates and threatens her marriage.
All three of these women need more than blind belief to negotiate their way through modern life. Things can only get betteror worse. Or better?
