Mildred, the main character of this book, has been recently widowed and is trying to maintain an existence between her two grown children. She feels shuffled around, unsettled, and isolated in her ever-maturing world. Travels, especially on airplanes, cause added stress. Left alone at the boarding gate, Mildred can hear some of the passengers express their life's dilemmas. Her emotions are stirred in every way possible. She forms opinions from what she hears. How can she help those who need help? How can she keep her mouth shut when she wants to rant and rave? You will, hopefully, want to follow her on every page as the plot thickens.
