Storyline

Dr. Lizzie Beauman (DeLoach) is a single mother and hospital administrator determined to improve the hospital's conditions while also caring for her young daughter, Quinn. Lizzie is very type-A; organized and detail-oriented. But all that changes when new EMS pilot Charley Allen (Hephner) comes into the lives of Lizzie and Quinn. Charley challenges the constraints that Lizzie places on herself, especially, her fear of flying.

User Reviews

Great acting and good story ...

I agree with the other reviewers that the film is refreshingly character driven and the acting is realistic instead of the usual Hallmark "overacting". I do also agree that the chemistry is missing between the two leads and he has shown himself to be everything she doesn't want in a partner. The subplot with Walter and Quinn is well developed and sweet. Really enjoyed this one and there was no town to save or boyfriend to erroneously distrust at the last moment .... This is a tender story dealing well with worthwhile topics...grief recovery, trust, friendships, and relationships.
