...When Sara leaves high school, her mother presents official rules for the mating game: "First a watch, then an engagement ring, finally a wedding band. After marriage, a woman should get a mink stole, then a mink jacket, then a mink coat, then a house on Long Island." But by the time Sara passes step No. 3, the rules no longer apply...
...free-for-all begins when her husband William, an overpaid Manhattan flack, is fired. A former boss offers Sara an assistant editor's job on a supermarket magazine. Before long the new employee is made privy to one of life's worst-kept secrets: it is more amusing to work in an office than to keep house.

"People would see someone else breaking and think, 'Should I pass it now or wait?' By the time we made up our mind, it was too late." Plays that had worked before came close to working again--then just missed. A superfluous pass or a premature shot was enough to turn likely scoring chances into blown opportunities...
