The PostLauren Rawl is a professor in a small catholic college in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. She experiences a life changing event which involves her struggle to cope emotionally when she learns of her adult sons drug addiction, and the frustration of not being able to fix him, consensually or legally. After much urging, Lauren begins attending Al-Anon meetings and, with the support of other attendees and that of friends, she slowly is able to manage her feelings of shame, loss and helplessness. To further complicate Laurens life, she becomes entangled in assisting law enforcement in investigating the disappearance of a female student in her department. Plus, she is drawn into a problematic relationship with a man whose wife is hospitalized in a coma.
