<DIV><b>Single mom Joanna is stretched too thin, and her delicate balancing act can only go on for so long . . .</b></div><DIV><BR>Joanna is forty-three, a long-divorced mother of two daughters, and an elementary school teacher and vice principal. Her eldest daughter ran away at fourteen, and returned home at seventeen with a newborn son, a little boy Joanna adores. Her younger girl has type 1 diabetes, and a major teenage attitude towards Joanna, life, and her disease. Joanna&rsquo;s been juggling too many balls for too long, supporting her kids, her ex-husband (court-ordered support for him), and her pothead mother (personal guilt&ndash;ordered support for her). In her &ldquo;time off&rdquo;&mdash;summer, when school is out and teachers don&rsquo;t get paid&mdash;she keeps her family afloat by working part-time jobs as a librarian and at the marina. And now, her best friend, a nurse practitioner, tells her she&rsquo;s dropped one of those balls she juggles. She&rsquo;s confirmed what Joanna&rsquo;s been denying to herself: Joanna is pregnant. Now, on top of everything else, Joanna will have to decide how to deal with her uptight little community&mdash;which is going to pillory her&mdash;and how to tell her teenager the big news. </div>
