As Dorie Clark turns fifty she is struck by the realization that life is a once-around-the-block affair, and she has a lot of unresolved situations to confront. A lifelong struggle to understand a seemingly unknowable mother, an uncertainty about her effectiveness as a mother, her general unhappiness about her somewhat haphazard career - and an understanding that her second marriage, while happy, could somehow be in jeopardy - propel Dorie into therapy for the first time in her life. As a series of unfortunate events unfold and she struggles to meet the challenges, she also comes to realize she has the capacity to make more of her life, to connect to the people in her life in a more positive way, and to find her own "house of joy".
