Vanessa Morgan has attained every woman's professional dream. A product of her parents' devastating divorce, Vanessa strives to be number one in all aspects of her life and vows that she will never inflict the same heartache on her own children. But despite her superior professional achievements, Vanessa's personal life is becoming increasingly shattered by her husband's emotional and mental abuse. A separation seems the only logical course of action, until she becomes pregnant with their child. His birth dramatically alters her landscape. In an effort to provide a stable home, Vanessa leaves the high-powered glitz of the corporate world to become a passionate stay-at-home mom. However, Vanessa becomes increasingly depressed and despondent, as she has no outlet from her husband's barrage of insults; she begins to whither from the lack of emotional and physical marital intimacy.
