I have not read Mrs. Weber's book but from looking at the description and accolades the story is about her coming to faith in Jesus Christ. This movie does not talk about this. It just depicts a very bright, rebellious and defensive girl who has a hard time building relationships. The only time Jesus is talked about or depicted is when the young protagonist looks at a painting of Jesus knocking on a door that has no handle on the outside. Angel Pictures has wholesome movies but they always shy away from speaking the truth about the saving power of God through the belief in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, the sacrifice He made on the cross and His resurrection on the third day for those who believe in His amazing love for us.

However this movie did peak my interest in the book and now I must read it.

This mini-series (8 episodes) was absolutely brilliant. I wanted to cry knowing that it had an end. My fondest wish was to keep knowing more about the characters, i.e., their continuing life, what the children grow up to be, the romantic blossoming relationships, etc., etc.

The acting was superb, especially the little girl who plays Mad. I wonder if in real life she's as intelligent as the role she portrays? I loved the encouragement that Elizabeth gave her female audience. It makes me wonder if any of this could have happened once upon a time.

Please make time to see this unforgettable series.
