• More memories of childhood
  As is true for my review of Cross Crek, the film restores memories of childhood in Florda. Palmettos, small deer, etc. were part of my youth, and the filming was done so exquisitely, that it was almost like being back there again.

• Heartbreaking, but . . .
  Life isn't easy and "Jody," finds out just how heartbreaking it can be at a young age. The movie shows, also, that life goes on no matter what, and hardships and heartbreak can be overcome. This movie is tough to watch in parts, but it teaches many of life's most difficult lessons.

  A movie you shouldn't miss seeing.
