Rated: G
Starring: Megan Follows, Alison Pill, & Dean Stockwell
The movie was different from the book but it did keep the main plot intact-cousin Helen, who is an invalid comes to visit, & Katy falls off a swing and injures her back. I enjoyed the movie and was able to appreciate the different version.
Spoiler alert: Cousin Helen dies. In the book Aunt Izzy dies. The movie was a bit rushed through the plot, which made Katy's recovery seem a bit unrealistic. I liked the book better but liked watching the movie.
*Highly recommend.
Points to discuss/considerations: Katy's father is a widow (they talk about his wife's /Katy's mom's life & death throughout the movie), serious injuries & the bitterness/angry that can accompany it, one man is a drunk, Katy's father drinks alcohol after Katy's accident
