ABOUT A MOMENT ON THE LIPS:

ETTA has had enough. At 5 ft 3 and size 20, she is determined to make a change. A change for herself, her daughter, and to show her ex, Robert, that she is, in fact, not only good enough for him but, in fact, far too good.

JENNA is being driven mad by her mother-in-law's critical and overbearing personality. And with her wedding fast approaching, she's determined to regain control of her body and the big day.

VAL is feeling lost and in shock after her husband of thirty years has upped and left her. Why? Good question. Val has no idea, but she's determined to find out.

NICKY has been on a downward spiral since her divorce. Struggling to move on and lonely with only her cats for company, food has become her best friend.

YANA has new life in England. Despite marital bliss being everything she'd hoped for, Yana misses her family back in Russia and has developed some new habits that even her new husband isn't unaware of.

Together they improve their lives and discover that it's never too late to strive towards the life you've always wanted.
