This story is so well written and well made that it is difficult to come up with enough words to praise its value as a wholesome and yet dramatic story. It demonstrates so well that a movie can be entertaining without featuring a lot of sex, language or violence.
A young Amish woman named Katie (played superbly by Katie Leclerc) is attempting to get her driver’s license when the movie begins. Soon the story unfolds that Katie’s real mother, Laura Bennett (Sherry Stringfield), has tumors and her condition is terminable, and Katie, raised by adoptive Amish parents, longs to see her real mother before she dies. Her mother Laura hopes for the same. However, Laura’s unscrupulous husband, Dylan (Adrian Paul), owes a ton of money due to gambling debts and plans to thwart any mother/daughter reunion so there is no possibility of finding himself outside of his wife’s last will and testament.
Eventually Katie finds herself in her mother’s home but she thinks Katie is a maid as husband Dylan has planted an imposter posing as the real Katie. The drama builds as the day approaches when Laura is about to sign over her estate to Katie before she dies. But will the imposter wind up with it all, and will Laura ever learn the truth about her daughter?
