Present day, not so much. She's been pink-slipped from her high-paying job, dumped by her husband and kicked out of her condo.

Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos.
