Her three daughters have followed her into the company—business-minded Cara, overworked but ambitious mother of two Ashley, and designer Grace. But all of these female entrepreneurs face the challenge of balancing their commitment to the business with their need for, and commitment to, their personal lives—never mind the feelings of the men with whom they live or are involved. The arrival of an unexpected family member from the past is the catalyst that impels them all to face up to where their real loyalties lie and, more importantly, what matters most to each one of them.
