      Noel F It is a family friendly little story about a girl struggling to find out who she is. It is a good story. Naturally there are some parts that are very unrealistic, but it is fun and harmless. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Audience Member GOOD STORY LINE - At times looks/feels like stage play brought to the screen. Almost worth wait for the surprise ending! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member For what is basically a Hallmark movie on the prairie this has a surprisingly high grade cast who all make more of the material than the script would normally provide. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good, made me cry a lot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good, made me cry a lot.

      Steven Oxman Variety The going gets better later on, but despite the work of the lead ladies, the effort as a whole remains firmly in the realm of the mediocre.
