About Joy for Beginners
Having survived a life-threatening illness, Kate celebrates by gathering with six close friends. At an intimate, outdoor dinner on a warm September evening, the women challenge Kate to start her new lease on life by going white-water rafting down the Grand Canyon with her daughter. Kate, however, is reluctant to take the risk. That is, until her friend Marion proposes a pact: if Kate will face the rapids, each woman will do one thing in the next year that scares her. Kate agrees, with one provision — she didn’t get to choose her challenge, so she gets to choose theirs.
