This soap opera movie succeeds because it ties together strong family values in the face of tremendous adversity.
We have 2 women, one of whom lost a daughter and the other a sister, who bond together.
The film shows the above tragedies along with an abandonment of a wife and daughter, a horse that goes blind, and many other problems as well.
Marsha Mason is quite good here as the mother whose daughter killed herself. She takes in the woman to work with horses after the latter's husband walks out on her with the child. To complicate matters, the former's mother blames her for the death of her sister years before.
Stay with this film as triumph of life beats out adversity.
