Helen Lewis, reception teacher at the village school, decides that she has put up with her husband's womanising for long enough; she's going to demand a divorce. But, on the very day she reaches this difficult decision, her husband tells her that he has a brain tumour – the prognosis is that he has only six months at most before it kills him. Stunned by the news, Helen agrees to put her personal plans on hold, - she’ll support him through this impossible time, learning to accept the kindness of her neighbours, making peace with her husband, and finding a new future.
