Attorney Samantha Stevenson has kept her eye on the prize-climbing the corporate ladder and breaking the glass ceiling.
But while Sam's been busy focusing on her career, her husband Jack has managed to maintain work-life balance, and he's sick of Sam's late nights and constant connection to her laptop. After fifteen years of marriage he wants out, and, he admits, he's been seeing another woman.
Shocked and devastated, Sam flees to her hometown of Denver, hoping the unconditional support of her father and her best friend will help her put things right. But when she purchases an old but respected antique store on a whim, she learns that relationships-like businesses-need to be handled with care.
Making Lemonade reminds us that it's not the career goals that ultimately matter, but the relationships you cultivate along the way-that you're stronger than you think you are, and it's never too late to refocus, refresh, and start over.
