Born in 1930 in a small town outside Winnipeg, beautiful Hope Koop appears destined to have a conventional life.

Where - among the demands of her children, the expectations of her husband and the challenges of her best friend, Emily, who has just read ‘The Feminine Mystique’ - is there room for her? And just who is she anyway?
