Through all the trials of Kates Lukemic state, sara has no other focus than to do what it takes to give her daughter the life she may never have. At age 11 Anna decides to seeks medical emancipation and hires a lawyer in the fight to win the rights to her own body, and hoping that the decision she has made dose not tear her family apart and leaves kates failing body into the hands of fate.
This was a really great movie, it was exactly what I was expecting, A definite tear jerker as well as heartwarming and it had a score that carried the emotion of the film beautifully.
