This is a powerful story of redemption and forgiveness. A young woman named Julie Thompson is a Christian who sings in her car on a trip to help out with a youth group when her tire blows. She stops by a bar near the accident to see if she can find help. A young man, a mechanic, who has been drinking for a while, goes with her to help but soon makes a pass at her and then runs her down and rapes her.
Later, after giving birth to a baby, despite the protests of those close to her, Julie visits the prison where the man who raped her, Mike, is imprisoned. She is determined to forgive him and to share the love of Christ. Her family, especially her father, is angry beyond words when they learn of Julie’s visits to the prison. Eventually, she helps them to see the forgiveness that is in her heart and God’s plan of forgiveness. This powerful story contains some intense scenes, including a prison fight and a few men being stabbed, but the scenes are not gratuitous and the redemptive theme shines throughout the film. Therefore, we are most pleased to award our Dove Seal to this DVD for ages twelve and above.
