After an unexpected duet with Mickey Rooney over breakfast, Susie gingerly accepts an invitation to perform at a Garland tribute in Brooklyn.
Before she knows it, she's draped over a baby grand piano in a satin dress, singing her heart out.
Susie Boyt's tribute to her screen idol Judy Garland is a touching account of a life-long passion.
Abridged by Viv Beeby.
