Isn't this based (perhaps loosely) on a real life situation? It sounds so familiar. Redheaded Doctor had multiple children growing up nearby, going to the same schools. They do make movies out of real life situations. Why is anyone surprised? I read about this years ago. Don't remember the doctor's name. Wasn't sure I liked the show at first. Ends up being a story about sisters finding a common bond. Getting interesting. Emily Petterson.
