Under a cerulean blue sky, on the outer banks of North Carolina and about a million miles away from her busy life in High Point, Elizabeth Harris sat quietly alone, listening to the sea, when a call for entries I’d posted to Facebook and Twitter popped up on her phone. Lottie Palmer has hit an all-time low. Hurtling towards thirty at a worrying speed of knots, her life is a million miles away from where she’d imagined it would be at this stage. And the fact that her entire family is so wrapped up in her brother’s wedding to gorgeous model, Saskia, is doing nothing for Lottie's dwindling self-esteem. 93 million miles from the sun, People get ready get ready, 'Cause here it comes. It's a light, a beautiful light, Over the horizon into our eyes. Oh, my my how beautiful, Oh my beautiful mother. She told me, 'Son in life you're gonna go far, If you do it right you'll love where you are.
