Hallmark Hall of Fame movies are usually not romance movies. But it seems like all of them have to have a little side story where the main character flirts with a romantic interest. I don't know why. In this case it really seemed foreign to the rest of the story, but I guess it was a glimpse of what she gave up for Bobby.
This is a hard story. From the moment Bobby walked into Vicki's house, I thought it was obvious that this was a badly abused kid. Vicki knew there were problems with her brother's family, but didn't seem to see how deep Bobby's scars were. It takes a while, and solving several preliminary issues, before she gets to that. And that's pretty much how this story goes. Wading through one issue after another until we reach the expected end.
I don't recommend this for children and even tweens and teens probably need to have their parents watch with them. There are some definite rough spots portrayed.
It's Hall of Fame so the acting, at least for principle characters, is good. The script is good.
