An Imperfect Life is a tender, honest, insightful, and sometimes laugh-out-loud exploration of how a flawed family can still be a gem.

The child of alcoholic parents, Christine Macabee should have known better than to marry a man who drank too much. It's a good thing she has her irrepressible older sister Louise to lean on. After a fatal accident alters the family forever, Christine devises a plan to raise her three children on a steady diet of home cooked meals, inspiring poetry, and the silly addition of a imaginary husband, the singer-songwriter, John Denver. Her plan works, until it doesn't. The kids grow up, fall in and out of love and in and out of trouble-some troubles more serious than others. Christine and Louise provide practical support and sometimes wacky advice to a younger generation facing lost jobs, broken hearts, homophobia, and yet another iteration of alcoholism. And just when it looks like everything back on track, Christine faces a crisis of her own.
