London, 1940 - Emmy Lake thinks she wants to be a war correspondent. She takes a job that she thinks is with the Evening Chronicle but it turns out it is just in the same BUILDING with the Chronicle and she is actually working at Woman’s Friend, a publication owned by the same conglomerate. She is mostly typing up advice given by the resident columnist and crabby old lady, Mrs. Bird. The rules governing the publishable letters are pretty intense. In fact, pretty much any issue that a young person could relate to are disallowed. On the sly, Emmy starts responding to letters as Mrs. Bird. I think we all know how this is going to end up. Add in a little romance, a little tragedy and some fun dialog.
