ORDINARY MIRACLES

Rewards come to those who are blessed with an open heart – a lesson learned for a young girl who dreams of a past she never had…and for a woman who yearns to make that dream come true.

Tough and unyielding, Judge Kay Woodbury is weathering her own share of personal crises, including her ex-husband’s remarriage and a bitter impasse with her attorney father that threatened both their careers. Now, a new complication has arisen. Her name is Sally Powell—bright beyond her years, promising despite her insecurities, and daring someone to love her. A four-time loser when it comes to foster homes, the troubled teen faces time in the juvenile section of a women’s correction facility. When her conscience gets the best of her, Kay opens the door to her own home where Sally’s unfortunate past comes to light as well as her secrets about her late mother who haunts her dreams and her father, Jim, who abandoned his daughter for desperate and selfless reasons of his own.

Ensconced in Kay’s San Diego home, Sally finds a promising new life, however tenuous. Kay, too, has discovered the courage to face her own personal problems and newfound sense of identity by sharing time, dreams, and disappointments with her young friend. When her emotional involvement in Sally’s life increases, Kay decides to challenge the sensible judgments that have defined her career and take a heartrending chance. Locating Sally’s father, Kay hires him as a landscaper. Unaware of their blood ties, Jim and Sally find a natural kinship, but as the relationship between the three deepens, so does Kay’s apprehension about revealing the truth. When she does, it will change their lives in ways no one imagined and open Kay’s eyes—and heart—to a miracle that only one young girl believed was possible.

A life-affirming film of family and forgiveness, Ordinary Miracles is for anyone who has learned how to survive the mistakes—and appreciate the miracles—of being alive.
