Despite her inclination toward self-sabotage and prickly alienation, she has found herself with a husband she loves, two happy children, and a quiet, contented existence in the suburbs. When she bumps into an old friend that she hasnt spoken to in years—a friend who almost ended her marriage decades prior—Julia finds herself reexamining her supposedly happy life.
