Add a CommentBased on Katherine Center's 2013 novel of the same name, this film offers several family secrets with the ebb and flow undercurrent of romance from start to finish. More deeply, it is about motherhood, the pain of loss. regrets and healing. Also, good life can be found in a small town. No offensive language in the entire script except the word eff as in "I told him to back the eff off."
Nice family movie. Josh D. looks great.
