Parker’s Anchor 2018

      Krystal Parker has a happy marriage, she lives with her husband in New York and they would like to have a child.  Krystal and her husband seem to be having difficulty and they visit a physician to see if there are any problems.  The doctor tells them that Krystal will never be able to have a baby!!  Her husband leaves her immediately!!  Krystal decides to return to the place where she was the happiest, Fayetteville Arkansas.  She shows up on the doorstep of her best friend.   


     This film was inspired by a true story about a family close to the writer’s family.  Laurie is very happy that Krystal has come to visit her but she’s very surprised about the reason.  Laurie starts helping Krystal get out and about in Fayetteville and meet new people.  Laurie also knows that it will take time for Krystal to grieve for her marriage and her inability to have a child.  4* (I really liked this movie)
