Description
She has the urge for going, but she never seems to go, to paraphrase Joni Mitchell. Then, one winter morning, Constance Hardy--jaded high-school English teacher, unhappy wife, mother of a troubled teenage son--witnesses a shocking death. In response she detonates a series of personal explosions that hurl her as far from family, work, the icy city of Ottawa and her former self as she will ever travel.
