A touching story that introduces children to separation, following the challenges faced by a family during a divorce. Tilly lives in the mountains with her mom and dad. She loves the place - there are beautiful views and plenty of space to play. The only downside is that she spends some time with her mom on one mountain and the remaining time with her dad on another. Although the mountains are connected by a bridge, Tilly is not allowed to use it. Instead, Tilly has to go all the way down one mountain and climb the other to move between the two homes, which makes her extremely tired and wish that everyone could live together. One day, when she is upset, Tilly decides to rebuild the old glass bridge in hopes of fixing her family. Will she succeed?
