Ellie Black is living her dream life. She is a successful career woman, working for a successful chain of hotels in England. She is in the prime of her life -- in her early 30s. And she is dating cute, dependable, gainfully employed Dan Cooper. And when Dan proposes, Ellie realizes she will soon join the perfect family and life will be all she could have ever hoped it would be.
Only sometimes, life throws a curve ball. What Ellie didn't realize is that Dan's family was not picture-perfect. Before long, Ellie starts to realize there is another woman in Dan's life, and it's his mother Linda. Linda is the matriarch of her family, and she definitely "wears the pants." So when Dan and Ellie get engaged, Linda immediately begins trying to turn Ellie into the daughter she never had (though in all truth, Linda does have a daughter of her own), and butts into their lives daily. She takes over all wedding plans, and winds up planning the wedding of her own dreams, rather than the wedding Ellie wanted. But Ellie strives to take it all in stride, and she isn't surprised when her new mother-in-law becomes even more overbearing when Dan and Ellie share the exciting news that a baby is on the way, but she is certainly quite annoyed by it!
As time goes on and life changes with the birth of a son, Ellie soon discovers that her life isn't the fairytale she thought it was going to be -- and that marriage is hard, and even harder when a child enters the mix. As Ellie struggles with the trials that come from parenthood, marriage, and over-involved in-laws, she wonders if it is really all worth it and if she made the right choices about marriage.
