Another ruined by soundtrack
This is another Hallmark/PIXL movie ruined by a lousy music score. These Hallmark soundtracks try to be spiritual and in most cases it fails. The story covers age gaps of three generation mother, daughter and granddaughter. Mother played by a laughingly gun toting Angie Dickenson in I believe her final role. Wish it could have been a better role. Her pulling out a handgun at a community meeting was way over done. The highlight, if any, was performance by the granddaughter played by Shanley Caswell. Laura Leighton also played a nice part. Problem was the story was simplistic which probably needed for a Hallmark audience. This gets 3/10 stars from me losing two stars for the music score. Whoever the composer was a BIG thumbs down which is 75% of all Hallmarks soundtracks.
