Some may say she's an enigma—this sophisticated forty-year-old grandmother who has been a widow for twenty-years and has been celibate for the duration. After Nyja raised her daughter in an appropriate manner, she is ready to resume dating. She finds the man of her dreams. However, after marriage, all hell breaks loose. Suddenly, she finds herself responsible for the upbringing of her grandson, just when all she really wants is the one thing she has denied herself for so long—a man. But how could Nyja turn her back on her daughter when she needs her the most?

Nyja finds that she is not the only grandmother living this growing dilemma of grandparents raising a second or third generation. She and other grandmothers find the strength that they did not know they possessed.
