This is a film based on the novel ''The Redemption Of Sarah Cain'' by Beverly Lewis. It is directed by Michael Landon, Jr.
Cynical Newspaper columnist in Portland, Oregon Sarah Cain discovers to her shock that her sister, an Amish convert has died and appointed her guardian of five Amish children. She takes them back to the city and attempts to raise them. [[spoiler: After much trouble she returns them to their small hamlet and leaves. The children run after her and beg her not to. As the movie closes it is implied that Sarah will move to their village thus being "saved" from her cynicism.]]
This is a rather predictable plot but it is a light and heartwarming movie.
