Forty years old and determined to take it gracefully, Iris is experiencing the fallout from her painful divorce.". "Lana Burton would like her boyfriend of two years to commit. At thirty-four, Lana is an eager young theater critic moving up in the New York hierarchy one step at a time and learning that some friends resent a slow climb as much as a fast one.".
