    • Trivia
      Inspired by the true story of Gianna Jessen, who survived a saline abortion in California in 1977.
    • Goofs
      When Jason is packing his clothes in the hotel before leaving New Orleans, he is speaking to Alanna, and the same shot is shown twice of him picking up a pile of clothes that includes a red, gray and white striped shirt. He picks the pile up, puts it in his bag, another angle is shown and then he is shown picking up the exact same pile from the same spot and putting it in his bag again.
    • Quotes

      Hannah: I feel dead inside.

      Hannah: No something worse than death.

      Hannah: I am still a child, a child trying to find a place on this world.

      Hannah: I have so many unanswered questions, questions I feel but can't even begin to speak because there are no words to express them.

      Hannah: Something is missing.

      Hannah: Why do I feel unwanted?

      Hannah: Why do I feel I have no right to exist?

      Hannah: Why do I spend more time wanting to end my life than live it?

    • Crazy credits
      Over the closing credits, actress Shari Rigby (who played birth mother Cindy Hastings) shared the trauma she felt after aborting her child, not unlike the way her character behaved, and how she finally felt God's forgiveness while playing this role.

    Fabulous Film!
    I highly recommend this film. It is unique and relevant, especially today when Hollywood seems to be simply telling the same stories over and over again in different ways with different actors. This is a movie I'll see again and one that I will own when it's available on DVD. The message of this film is powerful, even life-changing. An eye opener for some, and healing for others perhaps. The quality of production was top notch. The acting was wonderful, not only from the familiar faces but also from the newcomers to the big screen. I understand why the movie is PG-13, but it's certainly not rated that due to inappropriate material, it's due to the more mature story line. I would recommend this film to anyone, we were very impressed.
