Is it a family curse or the stubbornness of three women that keep them from true love? If you listen to the matriarch of the family Glendora Jubilee, she believes that because she turned her back on the love of her life years ago, neither her daughter nor her granddaughter understands love. She taught them to be strong independent women, but somewhere along the way they didnʼt grasp the meaning of true love and the art of compromise with the men in their lives. So, as a last ditch effort to bring her daughter and granddaughter together, Glendora takes them on a monthʼs vacation to London where she found the one true love of her life.
