Even though her husband’s death changed her life forever, that hasn’t stopped eternal optimist Marnie Minervini from doing the best she can to be there for her grown daughter, Lori, a successful (but still single) television writer. Marnie has relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to live near Lori. Armed with her new iPhone and a comfortable bank account, Marnie approaches every day as a new adventure, embracing every opportunity to make a new friend or strike up a conversation with a stranger.
