Gertie and Izzie are two young girls on their own. Abandoned by their father and orphaned by their mother, they are doing the best they can to stay in school, stay undetected and stay together. With assistance from their mother before her passing, the girls are financially prepared to sustain themselves for some time. Gertie, 14, takes seriously, her charge to raise her younger sister Izzie, 10, alone. Greg and Tonya are a couple whose love for one another radiates and for some time now, they have attempted to build a family and have failed. Tonya longs to share the love and nurturing she has been channeling through her job as a teacher, into children of her own. Is it God’s will that they don’t have children?

I have read a few of the articles on your website now, and I really like your style of blogging.
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie. The girls' father did NOT abandon them; he died. Gertie said that she remembered her mother crying at the funeral. That said, it was a wonderful movie. My 9-year-old daughter is hoping that it comes out on DVD so that she can watch it again and again.
ReplyDeleteAmalthea,
ReplyDeleteThank you for a correction about the father. The plot outline came from GMC. I will change it from:
"Gertie and Izzie are two young girls on their own. Abandoned by their father and orphaned by their mother, they are doing the best they can to stay in school..."
TO:
"Gertie and Izzie are two young girls on their own. Orphaned by their father and mother, they are doing the best they can to stay in school..."
Again, thank you!
