Plot

In the throbbing heart of New York, J.C. Wiatt stands as a formidable figure, a paragon of success. Known as the "tiger lady", she is a workaholic management consultant at Sloane Curtis, where her 80-hour weeks are as normal as morning coffee. Her life revolves around the corporate carousel, a world that is shared with her equally career-focused beau, Steven Buchner, an investment banker who thrives in the same relentless rhythm. Just as J.C. is about to ascend the corporate ladder, a peculiar inheritance disrupts her meticulously planned life. An unexpected bequest from a foreign relative emerges, not in the form of wealth, but a cherubic baby girl named Elizabeth. Initially resistant, J.C. grudgingly accepts the responsibility when the baby's courier takes flight, leaving her with the infant. The arrival of Elizabeth creates a domestic discord, causing Steven to exit stage left from their relationship. J.C.'s attempts to juggle motherhood and her demanding career lead to an impasse, resulting in her dismissal from Sloane Curtis. As she faces the crossroads of her life, J.C. decides to abandon the pulsating cityscape of New York for the serene vistas of Vermont. She purchases a quaint, yet dilapidated two-story cottage, hoping for a fresh start with Elizabeth. Country life, however, is far from the idyllic escape she had envisioned. As she grapples with the challenges of her new existence, a snowy day inspires her to make homemade apple sauce, an instant hit with Elizabeth. The simple act sparks a business idea, and soon, her baby apple sauce becomes a local sensation, catapulting J.C. back into the business world, albeit in a different arena. The Vermont chapter of her life also introduces her to the charming Dr. Jeff Cooper, the local veterinarian whose warm-hearted nature contrasts with her former city life. As she navigates her new business, motherhood, and potential romance, J.C. is confronted with a pivotal question: was this drastic shift in her life a twist of fate or a destined journey?
