La inspiradora historia de una mujer común que toma una decisión audaz y se anima a perseguir sus sueños. Winona Farmington soñaba con graduarse de la universidad, mudarse a Nueva York y dedicarse al mundo editorial, pero la vida se interpuso en su camino y tuvo que abandonar los estudios para volver a su pequeña ciudad del estado de Michigan y cuidar a su madre enferma. Años más tarde, Winnie se consuela viendo Beauchamp Hall, un drama de época ambientado en una gran casa de Norfolk, en cuya historia se sumerge intentando escapar de su rutinaria realidad. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando, en el mismo día, en el trabajo la desestiman para un merecido ascenso y su novio y su mejor amiga la traicionan. Siguiendo un impulso por primera vez en su vida Winnie deja su trabajo, se marcha de su ciudad y viaja a Inglaterra, allugar en el que se graba su serie favorita, y lo que sucede a continuación nos recuerda que nunca debemos conformarnos. Ya que siempre hay que perseguir los sueños... ¡porque no se sabe cuándo puede ocurrir la magia!Winona Farmington once dreamed of graduating from college, moving to New York City, and pursuing a career in publishing. Then real life got in the way when she left college and returned to her small Michigan hometown to care for her sick mother. Years later, stuck in a dead-end job and an unsatisfying relationship, Winnie has concluded that dreams were meant for others. She consoles herself with binge-watching the British television series that she loves, Beauchamp Hall, enthralled by the sumptuous period drama set on a great Norfolk estate in the 1920s. The rich upstairs-downstairs world brilliantly brought to life by superb actors is the ultimate in escapism. On the day Winnie is passed over for a long-overdue promotion, she is also betrayed by her boyfriend and her best friend. Heartbroken, she makes the first impulsive decision of her conventional life--which changes everything. She packs her bags and flies to England to see the town where Beauchamp Hall is filmed. The quaint B & B where she stays feels like home. The brother and sister who live in the castle where the show is filmed, rich in titles but poor in cash, are more like long-lost friends than British nobility. And the show itself, with its colorful company and behind-the-scenes affairs, is a drama all its own. Winnie's world comes alive on the set of the show. What happens next is the stuff of dreams, as Winnie takes the boldest leap of all. Beauchamp Hall reminds us to follow our dreams. ... You never know what magic will happen!
