A movie that combines true life adventure, heroism, faith, hope, inspiration. Mothers will especially love this movie. This movie should have been advertised more and should be repeated around Mother's Day. I enjoyed it so much I looked a long time before I found the book - it had been out of print, but then rereleased. Based on true events, I count it as a classic and Jill Eikenberry was the perfect person to play the role as the mother.
