What a quality actor to play in a movie on this subject. This choice of lead tells me the movie will be a good one. My ancestors are Amish and I am Mennonite. I hope this will help people understand our faith better than previous movies based on Amish life. I have long admired Kimberly’s work from the show “According to Jim”, (funny), to “Follow the stars home” (heart moving). I hope she is able to do more quality projects such as this.
