Description
The Sweet Spot follows three women whose lives crash together in Greenwich Village: Lauren Shaw, a ceramic artist drowning in a career break; Melinda, a newly divorced woman consumed by revenge; and Felicity Wynn, a glamorous design celebrity whose ambition outruns her responsibilities. When Felicity’s baby ends up unexpectedly in Lauren’s already chaotic household—amid a crumbling brownstone, three kids, a runaway dog, and a feminist legacy—alliances form in the strangest places.
As work deadlines, family pressure, and public image spiral, the characters learn that the “sweet spot” isn’t comfort—it’s the tense overlap of obligation and joy. Through mishaps, sharp dialogue, and emotional reckonings, the story builds toward a hard-won new equilibrium where relationships are renegotiated, careers are reframed, and community becomes an unplanned lifeline.
