Ruby's slippers

the long version

Dottie Meyers, 35, lives with her little black dog on a small farm in Kansas that's about to be hit by a tornado. Knocked unconscious by the storm, she awakens three months later to find that her father, last seen when she was four, has left her a mysterious pair of ruby slippers. The journey that Dottie and three friends take from Los Angeles to Seattle in search of her dad, along with everything connected to those sparkling red shoes, will help heal her broken childhood and prepare her heart for love.
