Recently widowed, Judy Schofield jumps at the chance to look after her two grandchildren while their parents are out of the country. After all, she's already raised one set of children. But as weeks become months, Judy feels more and more like an outsider among the young mothers with all their parenting theories at her grandchildren's snooty private school, until she finds a friend in another grandmother - and a man who takes her mind off all the stress. She just needs to take it one food allergy, incomprehensible homework assignment and major meltdown at a time.
