Reseña: Lizzie has an unfortunate knack for attracting bad luck but this time shes hit the jackpot. Losing her heart to her boss at the radio station where she works leads directly to losing her job and with no money in the bank shes forced to swallow her pride and return home to her parents. As if that wasnt bad enough her mother finds her work at the local care home for the elderly and its there that Lizzie meets Mrs Dallimore. In her nineties Mrs Dallimore also finds herself in a situation which shes reluctantly coming to terms with. Old age has finally caught up with her and with her life drawing to a close she gives in to the temptation to relive the past by sharing it with Lizzie. She tells Lizzie of the day when as a young girl and shortly before the outbreak of World War II she left her home in America to cross the Atlantic to England where she hoped to meet her English grandparents for the first time. At best she hoped for a family reconciliation but before long her visit turned into so much more. As Lizzie listens to Mrs Dallimores story she begins to realize that shes not the only person to attract bad luck or make mistakes and maybe things arent so bad for her after all . . .
