SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: I don't read much Danielle Steel but had read this book and so when the movie came out I checked it out. This was really good, surprisingly true to the book and a very beautiful and bittersweet story. It was touching, compelling and really well acted. I enjoyed it.Obviously, people who don't like Steel should stay away. But I've now watched this a couple of times and am very impressed with how vividly the performers brought the characters from the book to life in the movie. There isn't really anything lacking in this movie and if one likes the book they will probably like this. The movie is also directed very well and though the music is kind of sappy & syrupy that is to be expected from a movie such as this. It is definitely well above average as the ratings here on IMDb indicate.Go ahead and treat yourself to a viewing of this lovely movie. It's very well done.

I liked this move probably because I really liked Robert Urich. We really lost a pretty good actor when he died, in real life that is. The girl wasn't very believable and kind of goofy, but I guess that was necessary to make a story out of this script at all. Darin McGavin over acted a little as usual. I'm really a sucker for these kind of "tear jerker" movies so that's why I rated it as a 7. Stacie Haiduk is really very pretty, but not a great actress. The movie was pretty unbelievable but I guess most of Steel's stories are anyway. This move is well worth watching if you want to watch something that you don't have to think very hard about. I must admit I've watched it about three times!!!

I just saw the movie AGAIN and I still liked it! If for no other reason than I really like Robert Urich! The story is a bit sentimental, and there are times it is a little unbelievable, but, hey...it is a fictional story! If you don't care for Danielle Steel "stuff" then forget it, but if you generally like her other movies then you will probably like it. I don't really think there is much I want to say as far as the storyline goes w/out giving away too much, so I want to be very careful. Robert Urich plays a divorced lawyer with a daughter who falls in love with a woman who is married to a man who had a stroke 5 years earlier and whom she is still very much in love with. In spite of this fact, she finds herself falling in love with Alex (Urich). Her husband, to say the least, is an extraordinary man, which you will find.... Enough said, w/out saying too much. If you like Robert Urich, you should see it for that reason alone!

Oh my god - this movie was just awful!! After a very sentimental start it reached it highlight when a the leading woman first didn't wanted to be found and then just sends her address to the leading man. The only good thing was Holy Marie Combs. She's just lovely but her storyline is as a Disney-movie without a moral. Just tape the pieces with Holy Marie and DELETE the rest!!
