About the series
Andrew and Nicki have two teenage daughters, Katie and Marnie. Their family is full of love, understanding and mutual support. Even the sisters don't fight with each other, which is rare. But this family can't be called entirely happy. The younger daughter, Marnie, has been seriously ill since birth and spends nearly more time in hospitals than at home. Nicki had to give up work to care for the girl, while Andrew had to work twice as hard, since treatment has eaten up the lion's share of their income all these years. The loving parents were prepared to keep bearing this burden until, after yet another decline in Marnie's condition, doctors make a grim decision: further treatment is pointless, and all that's left for the girl is palliative care. But not all members of the family are ready to accept this and give up.
