Just after things have begun to settle for Juliana and Elisabeth, another enormous shift happens.
That does it, Juliana vows. It’s Operation How to Train Your Father, full speed ahead. After years of making do with texts and phone calls while Dad was driving his transport truck for days, sometimes weeks, at a time, Juliana had thought she desperately wanted him home. That was before he wanted her to wear shorts down to her ankles and study 30 hours a day. But when a family secret derails her plans, Juliana discovers there’s more to her father than she could have ever imagined. To stay calm amidst these changes, Juliana turns to her only consistent source of comfort, her great-grandmother’s sketchbook...
Elisabeth is breaking with tradition by getting her bangs cut for the first time in her life when she hears Tata will be returning early from America! Desperate to show how much she loves him and to convince him to never leave again, she decides to put on the best welcome-home celebration ever. There’s only one problem: she’s never planned a celebration by herself before. Luckily, she has time to practise and prepare before the big day. But when a family crisis strikes, Elisabeth’s celebration planning may need to be put on hold for the sake of keeping her family together...
As both Juliana and Elisabeth struggle with their fathers returning home and being a part of their lives, both girls must learn what love, family, and fatherhood are truly about.
