Sarah loves animals, sometimes more than people. And she loves life on her family farm in Poway, California. But she wants to become a vet, and time away at school in Glasgow, Scotland, is the only road there. Her mom Liz is supportive in every way, including footing the bill. But that support comes along with her many opinions, and needless to say, Sarah and mom rarely agree. School starts soon and available apartments are filling up. Sarah doesn't want to go at all, but if she wants to get through vet school and get home soon, she'll have to find a way to balance mom, school, and homesickness and make Glasgow a home for the year.
