Joanna, long divorced, mother of a single-mom daughter and a younger, rebellious, diabetic teenager, is pregnant, through accident, not design. Her older daughter thinks it's "cool", her teen thinks it's humiliating, and her mother's in such a fog of pot smoke she doesn't care.
In this story of one woman's family and life, she's faced with problems concerning not only the past, but the present, the future, her ex-husband, her troublesome children, her adorable grandson, and her more-than-difficult, law-breaking mother.
Her sometimes lover, a sailor, who is not the father of her unborn child but who wants to marry her is another problem she must face, along with her ambivalence over her former husband's new life style. However, the "sailor" is a "ramblin' man" not a good marriage prospect even if she wanted one. One marriage was plenty! But, when she suffers a serious accident, Joanna discovers her family can pull together, love each other, care for her, and that her mother's advice—"when you find a good man, hang onto him"—is worth listening to, and that a ramblin' man can settle down when the time is right.
