Storms, the literal variety, and the symbolic type, as in tempestuous relationships, mid-life crises, and health challenges, are the premises of this story. Catastrophes, big and small, force Libby to reassess her life, marriage, and parenting style. She misses her parents and slowly realizes that she should adopt some of their simple words of wisdom and ageless advice to manage her struggles with her twin daughters, Isa and Charlotte.
As she celebrates being ten years cancer-free, Libby is questioning whether Shiloh, her second husband, is still in love with her. She learns that her twin brother Paul is divorcing his husband, Charlie. Her career becomes rocky when Rupi, an employee at the Foundation she founded, suggests changes that seem to be at odds with its mission. Charlotte, one of her twelve-year-old daughters, is struggling with diabetes management. She turns to her friend and surrogate parent, Milagros, for support. Although she receives appropriate support and age-old advice, like what she attained during her formative years, Libby struggles to accept it. Libby has difficulty changing her views until a series of events forces some serious consternation and reflection about communication and its inherent value in relationships.
