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 take care of herself . . .

Is she ready to show Penny who Mika Suzuki really is?
