Sardonic and smart, Kirsten is the one whom everyone looks up to. A loving mother and an incredibly shrewd and powerful businesswoman, Kirsten has a worldliness and intelligence, an earthiness and curiosity that sets her apart. Kirsten puts on a strong armor, but she is incredibly lonely. She feels she lost Sandy as her best friend and Seth as her little boy. The joyful young family who once backpacked through Thailand and camped on the beach now sits woodenly around a formal dining room table with little to say. When Ryan enters the family, Kirsten discovers she can be herself around him. Seeing herself through Ryan's eyes, Kirsten becomes aware of just how much she's given up, and what it will take to reconnect with her son and rekindle her marriage.
Kirsten has been challenged by a number of recent events – her father’s marriage to her rival, Julie Cooper; the disappearance of her son, Seth; an investigation into her father and their company; the sudden discovery that she has a half-sister she’s never known who happens to be the same age as her son; and the mysterious return of her husband’s ex-girlfriend. And, although Kirsten’s weathered these storms with grace, it hasn’t been without a cost… especially to her marriage. She attempted to alleviate her sense of loss and loneliness by taking comfort in Carter Buckley, the handsome, idealistic-turned-cynical new magazine editor at Newport Living. But after his sudden departure, she turned to alcohol to ease her pain. Then, after losing her father to a sudden heart attack, her reliance on alcohol became all-consuming and she became the unexpected focus of a family intervention. Kirsten is currently an inpatient at a rehab facility.
