Meanwhile, Cathy is putting to use all that she has learned in a real-life test of survival. Cathy finds her confidence & courage, and thru her innocent view of life & ... Written by Tom Hawk

This film succeeds very well as a somewhat corny "feel good" movie. Purl is particularly good in an understated way. If you are at all into "feel good" movies this one will definitely leave you with that warm fuzzy feeling.
