Opis

This is the story of Lizzie Vogel, a 15 year old who finds herself working in an old people's home in the 1970s. She'd only gone for the job because it seemed too exhausting to commit to being a full-time girlfriend and she doesn't realise there is a right and a wrong way to get someone out of a bath. This is a story of being very young and very old, and the laughter and the tears, in between.
