When Kelly leaves the USA for a life-changing trip around the world, her goal is not to end up working as a nanny in suburban Sydney. And her goal is definitely not to turn into her mother in the process. She doesn’t doesn't realise it at the time, but as this memoir shows, there are worse things that could happen.
This book is largely set with the Tanner family in Australia, with only minor mentions of her travels before and afterwards. Her reason for reflecting now is a health scare in the present which makes her think of the past, in particular of a family that had lost its mother. With two girls of her own now, this is something she is thinking about a lot.
