The setting of this film is the 1950's. Elizabeth promised her granddaughter, young Elizabeth that she would
give her some money for her trip to California with her boyfriend. Young Elizabeth just wants to get the money and be
on the road. Her grandmother starts telling her a story about the early days
of her life. Grandmother Elizabeth also could not wait to leave the small town of Three Rivers. Grandmother Elizabeth lost her mother
when she was a young girl and she lived with her father who was a doctor. She met a young minister who came to
town to help their pastor. She
fell in love with him and promised to marry him when he came back from World
War II. She had known her
neighbor for a long time and he wanted to marry her also but she felt he was
just a friend.
This is a Hallmark movie about faith, love and endurance plus sadness,
tragedy and sweetness. Also, we don’t
always get what we want as we walk the path of life. The makeup job and wig used to make Cheryl Ladd seem older
look terrible!! 3 ½* (I liked this

Special Note: Filmed in Alhambra and Los Angeles, California. During a scene with people crossing the street, you can see the reflective bumps on either side of the line down the middle of the road. These reflective bumps did not exist in 1951. Ben and Elizabeth are in a soda shop and hey they have purchased sundaes. A cherry is placed on the top of Ben's sundae but later it only has whipped cream
