Lauren

About to turn 40, yet the most inexperienced professionally, Lauren has the air of someone who's had it all and lost it all. Soon to be divorced from her businessman husband, Phil, she is gingerly exploring her new world as a means of regaining control of her life. After 18 years of playing the role of submissive trophy wife, Lauren has finally found a supportive network with the girls at 232. One of Lauren's greatest dilemmas, however, is how to tell her kids.
