Ruth gave birth to her son Paddy on her wedding day three years ago and on their anniversary she expects that her film maker husband will be lonely. When she surprises him on set she does not expect that he will be consoling himself with Selma Rodriguez, arty set designer and husband stealer. As far as she is concerned the marriage is over. Picking up the pieces back in Ireland she makes friends with Kevin, the single father next door (and sexy combat-zone journo to boot), AND kind but oh so dull in bed, Ferdia (but he's RELIABLE). Meanwhile her psychic mother tries to help her find her father, but will he be a hero or a bastard? Do family values exist at all? Can you have a good relationship even if you never orgasm? And can Ruth take Emerson back if he ditches the witch? Nothing is out of the question with Ruth Burke.
