More details about Raising Helen and where you can watch

Raising Helen follows Helen Harris, a stylish and career-focused Manhattan assistant at a top modeling agency whose life revolves around work and social pleasures. Her world is turned upside down when her sister and brother-in-law die in a car accident, leaving Helen as guardian to their kids 15-year-old Audrey, 10-year-old Henry, and 5-year-old Sarah. Helen initially struggles with basic parenting tasks and sacrifices her job to care for the children full-time, moving to Queens and taking a more modest job. Along the way, she clashes with her older sister Jenny, bonds with the children’s pastor/principal Dan, and faces the toughest choices of her life. As she grows closer to the kids and Dan, Helen realizes love and family outweigh fame and ambition.
