Synopsis
Quisquillosa, malhumorada… terriblemente solitaria. Missy Carmichael tiene una vida sin demasiados cambios ni emociones. Ya casi nunca habla con su hija, y su hijo y su único nieto viven en Australia, las antípodas del mundo. Sabe que quizá su comportamiento tiene mucho que ver con su soledad, pero cambiar puede ser tan difícil a veces. Un encuentro casual en el parque con dos mujeres muy diferentes entre sí y un enérgico perro le brindarán la oportunidad de adentrarse en un mundo nuevo donde hay lugar para la esperanza. La segunda vida de Missy es un homenaje a la amistad, la familia y el poder del perdón, a todo aquello que convierte lo ordinario en extraordinario.
Missy Carmichael's life has become small. Grieving for a family she has lost or lost touch with, she's haunted by the echoes of her footsteps in her empty home; the sound of the radio in the dark; the tick-tick-tick of the watching clock. Spiky and defensive, Missy knows that her loneliness is all her own fault. She deserves no more than this; not after what she's done. But a chance encounter in the park with two very different women and one lovable dog opens the door to something new. Another life beckons for Missy, if only she can be brave enough to grasp the opportunity. But seventy-nine is too late for a second chance. Isn't it?
