Synopsis: It's story time at the library, and a young woman is reading the book she wrote, about a time when she was younger that changed her life forever: Young Vanessa is suffering from cancer, and her parents are afraid she won't live to see the holidays...so, they decide to bring the holidays to her! The whole town, including Vanessa's neighbors, celebrate Halloween and Christmas well in advance in her honor. Even though Vanessa is overjoyed, her numbers seem to be dropping, and her parents are very worried. Will she be able to defeat cancer?
A Hallmark Hall of Fame telefilm.
The Good: Films under the Hallmark banner--regardless of which channel they premiered on--are usually touching, sweet, and innocent stories...as is this one. The actors all do well here, and the film has a lot of small-town charm. As a lover of family-friendly entertainment, this is something that's right up my alley.
The Bad: Nothing, really.
Conclusion: If you like sweet, touching stories, you should try a Hallmark Hall of Fame telefilm sometime. While they aren't all amazing--so, you probably should check reviews before trying one out--there are some really good ones...such as this one. The library I work for has plenty more volumes in this series; I probably should check them out!
Score: 4.5/5
