Bed of Roses
Synopsis
Louisa Atherton (Kerry Armstrong) is forty-nine years old and spoiled rotten. When her wealthy husband Jack drops dead in the arms of another woman, Louisa thinks things can't get worse - until she discovers that he's left her bankrupt. Louisa's forced to go back to her tiny home town with her tail between her legs. As she re-negotiates her relationships with her prickly mother (Julia Blake) and recalcitrant kids, she learns to understand herself for the first time in her life. Shedding her characteristic disdain for the past, Louisa also comes to realise that her small town's history will play a vital role in her future.
