I have always loved Coleen Dewhurst as an actress. She is just perfect for her role as an older, expectant mother. This story is very heartwarming. It is about a family that is blessed with a surprise just when they thought their lives were in order. Although the movie was made in 1979, it fits nicely into today's world - a world with too much violence - and reminds us that love and caring are still the most important values surrounding us.
