with John Pitman
At the age of 8, Julie Lartey was snatched from the couple who had fostered her since she was a few days old, and smuggled out of Britain to Ghana.
The snatch had a devastating effect on her foster parents - Evelyn and Bill Vose.
Now, ten years later, Julie wants to come home to them - will the Voses help?
Evelyn is aged 70, Bill is 80. They decide to spend their life savings on a ticket, but never hear whether Julie has received it.
They go to the airport not knowing whether Julie will be on the plane. If she isn't, they will go through all the heartache again. If she is, will they be able to pick up where they left off years ago?
