"Dear Ann ..." For years, Ann Landers was the go-to goddess for solving all of America's problems.
No topic was off limits: nude housekeeping, sex in a motorcycle helmet, the proper way to hang toilet paper,
addiction, religion, and wandering spouses. She answered them all with honest, and often humorous, insight.
The year is 1975, and we find Landers in her Chicago apartment.
An ironic twist of events confronts her with a looming deadline for a column dealing with a new kind of heartbreak: her own.
As she shares her struggles to complete the column, we get a glimpse of a funny, no-nonsense woman whose daily dialogue
helped America to shape the social landscapes of the last half century.
