The Beautiful Misfits

Description

Eighty-four seconds can change your life. Or destroy it. Josie Nickels is an Emmy-winning news anchor, poised to rise through the ranks of television journalism. On a bitter March evening on live TV, the pressures and secrets burbling behind the closed doors of her ridiculous Victorian mansion explode, and the overwhelmed journalist spills family secrets like a Baptist at altar call.

The aftermath costs her much more than a career. It robs her of a beloved son—a preppy, educated millennial trapped in the deadly world of addiction.

Desperate for a new start and a way to save her son, Josie packs up her pride and her young daughter, and accepts a new job slinging cosmetics at a department store make-up counter with other disgraced celebs. In the gorgeous mountains of Asheville N.C., known for hippies, healings, and Subarus, Josie is faced with a choice for her son: take a chance on a bold, out-of-the-ordinary treatment plan for him or lose him forever.
