She had forfeited all the usual preoccupations of a woman her age in order to care for Arlette. Her will included a woman named Clara Pickle who presumably could be found at a London address. Now, having landed on a street corner in '90s Soho, Betty is determined to find the mysterious Clara. As Betty navigates the ups and downs of city life and begins working as a nanny, her search for Clara leads her to a man--a stranger to Betty, but someone who meant the world to her grandmother. Will the secrets of Arlette's past help Betty find her own way to happiness in the present?"-- ER -
