This is so my life. I have lived the good and bad and won many prizes just when I needed them. Heavenly Father is good to mothers. I am blessed. It made our family cry and laugh. Thanks for a good movie.
Happy Mother's Day to the late Mrs. Evelyn Ryan. I really admire your strength, courage, patience, talent, wit and intelligence AND most of all I admire you for having a beautiful heart and for being too damn "happy". :) and then of course, Kudos to her daughter Terry "Tuff" Ryan for making such a brilliant book, Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio that turned into a great film. :) Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there and God Bless you all. ♥
It's so hilarious. There have been a couple of films set in Defiance (my beloved hometown), and it's always represented by Canada. It's a beautiful setting, but much to hilly for this part of Ohio! Ha ha. I'm actually re-reading the book, because I'm away at college, and reading it makes me less homesick with all of the familiar family names, and places.

Great movie! I watch this movie when I am really down in the dumps and I think to myself, if she can do it then so can I. Truly inspirational.
