AT 35, MIKA SUZUKI IS STRUGGLING.

She''s been fired (again). Her last relationship went up in flames. Her mother is perpetually disappointed in her. And now, she''s had a phone call from sixteen-year-old Penny Calvin: the baby she reluctantly placed for adoption when she was just a teenager herself.

Penny has questions - and Mika is desperate to meet her girl. But she barely feels like she can takecare of herself. Is she ready to show Penny who Mika Suzuki really is?
