Dove Review

This is a dramatic story about one man’s journey back to the family he abandoned. After six years Walter returns home after receiving a letter regarding his father’s death and is requested to attend the reading of the will. With some encouragement from his pastor to mend the family ties he returns but his arrival is not greeted with open arms by everyone in the family.

It is never be easy to return home to mend relationships in a family when a person walks away. “Relative Stranger” is a look at the pain and hurt caused by Walter walking out. This story also shows what it takes to face the mistakes that have been made and what it takes for others to forgive those mistakes.

We award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12 and older.
