Christine Chapman (Kathy Bates) suffers from schizophrenia, and is unable to live without the assistance of her mother, Helen (Lynn Redgrave). Christine's younger sister, Judy (Elizabeth Perkins), has avoided taking care of Christine growing up and is now living in a different city.

So this was an okay story but having read the book... what the crap. They completely change the ending. Like hardcore changed it. They should of just called this movie something else if you were just going to crap so unbelievably hard on the source material.

I always enjoy Hallmark movies, and I think they did an excellent job on this story. Kathy Bates is a wonderful actress, and adds a lot to this nice little movie.
