She had taken a wrong turn in life and now it's up to her to make it right.
When Dicey loses her company, gorgeous husband and last vestiges of self-esteem in quick succession, she feels the simplest solution to her problems is to flee. She heads back to her childhood home with her sister, wayward friend and 75-kilo Irish wolfhound, Fergus, in tow, hoping to take refuge from the disaster that has become her life.
And for a while, the weird but wonderful town of Moo, with its bizarre locals and Friesian black-and-white painted everything - telephone poles, electricity boxes, phone boxes, anything really that isn't already a cow - manages to distract all three girls from their problems.
But when Dicey reconnects with her childhood sweetheart, and her husband, Jean-Luc, turns up with his sexy new girlfriend, she is forced into action: she was the one who took a wrong turn in life and now it's up to her to make it right.
