I'll have to admit, I had my doubts about this movie when I first read the teasers, but tuned in to it's broadcast on Lifetime Television. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. From the get go, the story took hold of me and at the end had me wishing for more.
Reiko Aylesworth does as incredible job as Letty (Leticia) Mayer, a young, beautiful teacher who has the world at her fingertips. Or so it seems. As the story moves on, you quickly see that Letty's life isn't the bed of roses that it seems. Through the progression of the story, we go with Letty as she re-learns to live her life to the fullest and develops a real joy in everyday living that makes you smile as your watching. Bruno Campos plays Michael perfectly, charming, funny and just the type of man you'd want to sweep you off your feet. Almost....
The transformation of not only Letty's life, but her closest family members is truly believable.The stellar supporting cast that includes JoBeth Williams and Marla Sokoloff as Letty's Mother and sister, Meatloaf, K Callan, and Paul Schulze as some of Letty's ward mates create such a believable atmosphere.
But the spotlight definitely belongs to Reiko Aylesworth. She simply SHINES in this story. Even if you weren't a fan of hers before seeing this movie, you will be afterwords. This movie is definitely a must not miss. I can't wait for it to be released on DVD.
