Confined to bed for months, Elsie misses Nan desperately, and struggles to adapt to the hospital's strict rules.

For the first time, Elsie finds herself surrounded by true friends - including Queenie, the hospital's majestic white cat.

Finally Elsie is well enough to leave the hospital. But before she does, she has one very special, very unexpected visitor ...
