    Storyline

    Edit
    When beloved Debbie Martin commits suicide, her preacher husband Andrew grieves alongside the whole town and especially Debbie's mom, Susan. But then moments long forgotten and incidents about Andrew's strange behavior start bubbling to the surface. At first Susan doesn't want to believe them, but when mounting evidence can no longer be denied, she has to admit that she now believes Andrew killed Debbie and sets out to prove it. And so begins a battle that eventually tears the town apart. Inspired by a true story. —Anonymous

    • Quotes

      Andrew Martin: [goes to sit next to the girls, Kathy whispers to her daughter and the two look at him with acute suspicion] You okay?

      [in a whisper]

      Pastor: [comes up to podium after suspicious staring by Kathy and memories in the thoughts of Susan] It is with heavy hearts that we gather today to remember the life of Debbie Martin. In these times of unanswerable questions, we look to the Lord for hope and forgiveness. And we remember his promise of life everlasting.

      [cuts to a silently grieving Susan listening as he gestures and speaks]

    TOO OLD HUSBAND!!
    Ok movie but the dead girls father looked so much older than her mother; maybe twice as old! People do marry older mates but he looked out of place. It looked ridiculous! Couldn't casting do better??????? And, cutesy looking Williamson is so cute her face is annoying; I can't look at her!
