80-year-old Violet Rossini hasn't seen her big sister Kathleen for 72 years. Violet and Kathleen were taken into the care system at an early age and fostered into separate families, and the last time Violet saw Kathleen she was only eight years old. Now, after a lifetime of wondering what had become of her beloved sister, Violet has sought the help of the Salvation Army's Family Tracing Unit, who have succeeded in tracing Kathleen. Violet travels halfway around the world from her home in Australia for a highly emotional reunion with her sister after more than seven decades apart.
