The family initially settles in a quiet village in the South of France where they discover the joys of leading a simpler life. Lydia's childhood dreams of humanitarian work take her further from the comforts of home as she ventures into shelters for children across India; through the jungles of Costa Rica, Southeast Asia, and Venezuela; and to China where the Deansadopt their third child.
