    Sweet and tender
    I really liked this movie. Based on a Danielle Steel novel, it's about a pregnant woman who tries to make a new life for herself after the death of her husband and young daughter. Rex Smith has a small role here as Daphne's (Lindsay Wagner) husband who dies in a fire. Ms. Wagner also has fine chemistry with Barry Bostwick. Amy Aquino shines in the role of Daphne's best friend Barbara. The scenery here is pretty, too. This movie is usually found on the Lifetime Channel. Enjoy, but be sure to watch with a box of Kleenex nearby!
