A treasure of a film where a young girl of Amish heritage seeks out her real mother who had given her up for adoption,some 20 years before.
The mother, a very wealthy woman, returns home to learn that she is terminally ill and that her husband has continued his gambling habit. She wants to write him out of the will. He hires a waitress, aspiring to be an actress, to act the part of the daughter. When the real daughter arrives at the estate, she is taken in as a servant, realizing immediately what is going on here.
The film is great as it also deals with a mother's intuition. The heart rendering ending is excellent
