Jackie Martin is a woman whose self confidence and ambition have earned her a coveted position as a judge on the Manhattan Family Court—but also left her living alone at age 40. When Jackie meets newly-divorced Lou Greenberg, she thinks she’s finally found someone who will accept her exactly as she is. But when Lou’s own issues, including an unresolved yearning for his ex-wife, make him bolt without explanation, Jackie must finally begin to put herself under the same microscope as the people she judges. When their worlds collide in Jackie’s courtroom, she learns that sometimes love’s greatest gift is opening you up to love others.
