Charleston, SC, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Two women across generations struggle to secure happiness, knowing that finding their own may come at the cost of the other’s.
College co-ed, Elise Jorgenson, only desired three things in life: to be crowned the Delta Rho Chi fraternity’s “Darling,” marry Howard Ellingson, and raise a family.
Twenty years later, Elise is childless and a widow. Well, nearly childless. She is the new housemother for the Gamma Alpha Beta sorority at the University of Washington. Enter Riley Paxton, a rowdy freshman who chafes against the sorority rules and is egged on by her boyfriend to rebel against Elise.
When Riley’s father Jack Paxton arrives to “rescue” his daughter, an unexpected romance blossoms between Jack and Elise. Horrified by their growing bond, Riley’s plans to thwart them is dealt a blow when she discovers her boyfriend isn’t the guy she thought he was.
Desperate, Riley secretly invites her mother to join the family for Thanksgiving with a specific goal: stop Jack and Elise’s fling before it goes too far. As tensions mount and relationships fracture, Riley and Elise must discover if the happiness just within their reach will ever be attained.
