Summary
Alice leaves home for a better life in the big city, but finds a job as a dentist's receptionist and the attention of big-eared Midwestern transplant Charlie, who's finishing his social work degree. Before long, they're married, have twins, and… Charlie's found an underpaid and overworked job. Charlie's dedication to his work sparks domestic tension, so Alice's mother comes to help with the kids, but ends up sharing the truth Alice would rather not hear about the father she never knew. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2007.
