"Based on the true story of an 11 year old girl who faces a life-threatening illness while coming of age. Her whole family is religious, but her mother is demanding, forceful & expectant, deceptive, manipulative & dogmatic towards her two daughters, in regards to her religious views. The father is sensitive to the girls true desires, but doesn't step across the line that his wife lays down. The film fits in many catagories, including: soulmate attraction; religious beliefs & deceptions; family dynamics; sleep state & near-death experience; pure soul desires."
