Quotes:

[last lines]
Belinda Medieros: In the old days Mount Hope was a very important city. It was where a lot of the ships were built for the English Navy. Today, of course, it's not the world capital of anything really. Except it's where my family lives, and my family's family, and their family too. It's where we all live. And so you could say that Mount Hope is kind of the center of the universe, and that would be true.

Good family drama.

Adapted from the novel of the same name (I only knew when I saw the credits), it's about a fishing family in Maine facing domestic heartbreak and financial crisis.

It may look so ordinary like any other family-themed drama serials out there, but then for someone like me who is very much a city girl at times given the background I grew up here, a very laid-back setting in Maine...something I like for a change.

Watch how the family in this TV movie really handle the various crisis together, no matter how much complications there may be in between.

It's always definitely really heart-warming to watch such TV movies. In the end, family unity is always all that matters.
