I enjoyed this TV movie (the plot, most of the characters, etc.) but could not stand the mother (JoAnna(?)) Worse mother and grandmother ever. During the middle and towards the end, I started fast forwarding whenever her face came of the screen. I must say, this is a different turn for a 'Hallmark' TV movie to have such a despicable character who, since not a hardened criminal or otherwise a 'bad guy or gal', should not be this way. Tom Cavanaugh is great in this movie!
