Dottie Meyers, 35, is a real-life Dorothy Gale living with her little black dog on a small farm in Kansas thats about to be hit by a tornado. Knocked unconscious by the storm, she awakes three months later at a recovery facility in California where her father, last seen when she was four, has left her a mysterious pair of ruby slippers. But unlike The Wizard of Oz, this isnt a dream, and the yellow brick road journey that Dottie and three friends are about to take from Los Angeles to Seattle in search of her dad will show the realities of a broken childhood. More importantly, everything connected to those sparkling red shoes will prove to Dottie that theres only one true wonder worker behind the so-called curtain who can heal her wounds and prepare the heart for love.
