THEME-RELATIONSHIPS, CULTURE & HERITAGE

STORY- All of us have to deal with the great questions of life such as 'who am I?', where did I come from?, 'where am I going?'. But what if you're adopted and you're not just thinking in the abstract but you really want to know where you came from? What if your adopted parents were white and Jewish and you found out you were born to Navajo Indian parents? That's the story of this HALLMARK film based on a true story. Can your marriage survive when your husband finds out? Can your children handle the ridicule? Obviously made on a lower made-for-TV budget than Hollywood, this is a very entertaining as well as informative movie about the Navajo culture, both the good and the bad. Can Becca take what's best from her Indian heritage and also bring 'the white man's solution' to an area of great pain in the Navajo culture? A wonderful family movie.
