PLOT:
Martha Evans, an attractive 28 year old shows the wear of years of working double shifts at minimum wage. Martha is close to despair when her ‘never-do-well’ husband abandons her a few days before Christmas, leaving her homeless and destitute.
With her two young daughters and stepson in tow, Martha travels cross-country looking for work, finally landing a job as a late-shift waitress at a small town diner. Still, with her car broken down and the bills piling up as fast as her troubles, it looks like it’s going to be a very bleak Christmas for the Evans family. In a desperate cry for help, Martha reaches to higher power…and her prayer seems to work a small miracle.
Unbeknownst to her, the sympathetic townsfolk and a concerned new admirer have been working behind the scenes to make her season bright. The kindness of strangers ultimately renews Martha’s faith, not only in humanity but also in the God who answered her prayer. The owner of the local diner, an attractive, no-nonsense woman in her mid to late 60s takes pity on Martha and her kids. As their bond builds, the two find unexpected comfort in the values of true friendship. Could blowing the dust off the beloved old recipe for home-made root beer be the answer to their prayers?...

Saving Sarah Cain
MOVIE REVIEW
Saving Sarah Cain:
A tear-jerking movie from Michael Landon, Jr., son of Michael Landon (Charles Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie). Story based on book The Redemption of Sarah Cain, by Christian author, Beverly Lewis.
CAST:
Lisa Pepper ... Sarah Cain
Abigail Mason ... Lyddie
Soren Fulton ... Caleb
Danielle Chuchran ... Anna Mae
Elliott Gould ... Bill
Tess Harper ... Miriam
Tanner Maguire ... Josiah
Bailee Madison ... Hannah
Tom Tate ... Bryan
Jennifer O'Dell ... Madison Miller
Phil Abrams ... Eberly
David Clennon ... Homeless Man
Tod Huntington ... Officer 1
Caitlin E.J. Meyer ... Courtney
PLOT:
From Redemption Films -
When Sarah Cain, a self-involved big-city newspaper columnist, travels to Pennsylvania for the funeral of her Amish sister, she soon discovers that she is the legal guardian of her five Amish nieces and nephews. Rather than choose to move to Lancaster County to finish raising them there herself, or let them be separated by the foster care system, Sarah decides to take them with her back to Portland where she believes she can make a new life for them. However, she soon realizes that the modern world has forced them to compromise who they are, and that she has moved them there for all the wrong reasons - a motive which is soon exposed - because secrets can really never be kept secret. In order to find her own redemption, she knows she must make a choice to give them back their lives in Amish Country. And whether she remains part of their lives will have a lot to do with how much she has grown to love them.
Movie Review:
The best thing about this film is the main actress, Lisa Pepper, she's expressive and interesting. Her acting throughout was wonderful. The children were also quite good little actors and actresses.
I liked the Sarah Cain character... she was real and vulnerable. She loves her family, her boyfriend, and her job, but has difficulty juggling all three and figuring out what to do with her life, especially now, since her sister passed away and left her with her nephews and nieces to care for..
It's quite interesting to see how the children dressed in their Amish clothing, compare to the other kids in their Jeans and Sweaters at school. I did find that the oldest daughter, Lyddie, 16 years old, cried in almost scene she was in. That was a bit annoying. In spite of that, it's a heartwarming story of family, love, and forgiveness.
SPOILER - Overall, the movie was intriguing and interesting, but I was not fond of the ending, because Sarah returned with the children to their Amish Community.
See or Skip:
See, and discuss with your family, but may not be suitable for young children, due to the death of a parent and the sadness that ensues throughout the movie due to it.
