    Throwing stones or tennis balls?
    The film itself is quite good and I enjoyed watching it, and to see the outcome of a rape victim who was sacked from her job working as a teacher. I found myself feeling very annoyed with that school board who should make such Dark Age opinions on women who have babies outside marriage. For the rape and single mother issues, I found it interesting as well as important. The rest of it, I don't know what is real and what isn't. I don't believe that these TV movies are based on true stories 100%. I have lost count of how many TV movies based on true stories turn out to be fabricated. The acting was okay and the storyline a bit old fashioned.
