It's the day before Bea Parker's 30th birthday and a week until Thanksgiving. A milestone birthday and a holly-jolly season practically made for happy couples loom. But Bea doesn't have an adoring partner who will gladly drive an hour to the countryside and cut down a Fraser fir with her. She doesn't have a beautiful home to decorate or a chubby baby to sit on Santa's lap. Bea doesn't even have a fulfilling career to throw herself into. Instead, she's working as a mid-level graphic designer, living in a dilapidated apartment, and her greatest confidante is a blind dachshund. And to top it all off? She's just been given a multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
Thirty, flirty, and thriving? More like thirty, flirting, and flailing. Literally.
Bea's MS diagnosis prompts her to reclaim her life in ways big and small, from chasing a passion for tiny homes to putting her heart back on the dating scene. But the road to recovery isn't straight and narrow, and as Bea discovers, there are a whole lot of twists, turns, and setbacks. But sometimes? Well, sometimes life surprises you in all the best ways.
