Summary:
As three women go on a boating trip with their children, they receive a letter written by a woman claiming to have stolen one of their husbands. The letter doesn't say which one. Faced with the prospect of a shattered life, each woman soul searches throughout the day: Deborah feels inadequate amidst her husband's country club set. Everyone sees Lora Mae as a gold digger. Rita's career makes her husband feel neglected. They endure the anguish until the boat trip ends-and the truth is revealed.
