(Pamela Reed)

Opinionated and driven, Joy is a hardworking mother of two who runs a successful logistic consulting firm. Over the course of one crazy weekend, Joy must drive her mother-in-law across the South to a retirement village in Savannah. The only problem is, they are exact opposites.
Phil is Joy’s laid-back husband. Artistic, casual and easy-going, he is a successful, published author who works from home. Unlike Joy, he’s been the parent who, most often, is there for the kids, dealing with the triumphs and crises of growing up. As Joy puts it, “He’s the ‘fun’ one.”
Loraine’s oldest friend, Milly lives in Morristown, TN, 40 miles outside of Knoxville. They are best friends who haven’t seen each other in many years. Milly has not weathered the years as well as Loraine, though they are roughly the same age. She is slower on her feet. Though she is a realist when it comes to aging, she has a great sense of humor about life.
