Betsy's life is one crisis after another. She never wondered, or cared, who her birth parents were until her friend Bett confesses, "I have a child." Bett and Betsy's adoptive mother, Harriett, have been best friends since college. Could there be a connection?

Betsy resents that Bett secretly set her up with over-the-top handsome Noel with Crayon blue eyes, tons of dough and a quirky psychological problem. But, when her kitchen blows up, he saves her life-over the phone!

When daughter Brie shows up pregnant and abandoned by her husband, like Betsy's husband, The Jerk, abandoned her when she was pregnant with Brie, Betsy takes charge. Noel could help, but will he? And, how does his old friend Muriel fit into the equation?

Will Betsy's messy life ever get straightened out? How can she help Brie restore her marriage, as well as nurse Noel back to health from the flu with her leg in a cast-the leg she broke visiting him during one of his marathon hospital stays? Will Noel turn out to be the hero Bett claims him to be and the lover Betsy hopes him to be? Or, will Noel disappoint her and become another butterfly dream?
