Synopsis

Jenny and Rob would make the perfect high school couple if his mother hadn't run over and killed Jenny's sister 2 years earlier. Told with flashbacks that raise the goose bumps, I still remember the first time I saw it. Today it can still bring a tear to my eye. Unfortunately there are no copies available to the public. A great adaptation of Norma Fox Mazer's novel involving issues with acceptance, forgiveness, and love.
