SACRIFICES OF THE HEART

Broken family ties are given one last chance to heal when a father and his two children finally agree to face the past with a trust and forgiveness they never shared before.

Thirty-six-year-old Kate Weston (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Melissa Gilbert, Little House on the Prairie) is a tough attorney with a thriving practice in New York City. Consumed with a career that allows for only the most tenuous of personal commitments, she receives a call from her estranged brother, Ryan (Cyril O’Reilly, Without a Trace). Their father, Thane, is showing signs of an increasingly debilitating and disorienting illness. What Ryan needs is for his sister to return to the family farm in New Hampshire and convince their stubborn father that he needs help. But the reunion is awkward and only stirs bitter memories of a family tragedy that haunts Kate to this day.

Her mother committed suicide when she was only seven, and Kate has never come to terms with it—or with her father whom she always held responsible. Until she speaks to the family’s physician, she discovers her mother’s personal history and the Alzheimer’s that’s gradually robbing Thane of his memories. As professional pressures build, Kate suddenly discovers the importance of reconciliation in a season of renewal that could finally and truly bring the Weston family together.

A film of healing, hope, and second chances, Sacrifices of the Heart will resonate with anyone who’s ever faced an obstacle with the kind of courage that only comes from being a family.
