Thirty-six-year-old Sophie Stanton desperately wants to be a good widow - a graceful, composed, Jackie Kennedy kind of widow. Alas, Sophie is more the Jack Daniels kind. Soon she's not only lost her husband, but her job, her house, and her waistline. Desperate to reinvent her life, Sophie moves to Ashland, Oregon, and finds herself in the middle of Lucy-and-Ethel madcap adventures with a darkly comic edge.
