Alexis Spencer thinks she has it all figured out. Even when life gets her down, she’s never too far away from another inspirational quote to rationalize her failures and ignore all her problems.

Finally, they must learn to get along and come to terms with the fact that, alone, they will never make things right but, together, they could change their life for the better.
