This movie came out at the exact time my mother was dying of cancer and I had so many things I had never told her etc....and I listened to the song "seasons change" by Expose over and over again flying back and forth to Oklahoma. ..Our family state and at that time never knew the movie had that song in it until after my mom died. Incredible!! It may have been a love song but I Incorporated that to be a song to my mom that I never got to tell her how I really felt about her

Touching story about how a family both pulls together & falls apart during such a heart breaking time in which the Mother of the family is battling against cancer. I can SO relate. Be there, done that.

Part mystery, part emotional drama, but all love story, One True Thing is a pleasure to watch.
