    Movie synopsis

    Khaila Richards may be a crack addict but she's also the mother of a beautiful baby boy named Isaiah. One night, she finds herself desperate for a hit. So Khaila leaves the wailing infant swaddled in rags by a garbage dump. She returns the next morning in a panic, only to find that Isaiah's gone. Believing him dead, a devastated Khaila gets herself thrown into rehab where she struggles to change her life. Meanwhile, the previously crack-addicted infant is legally adopted by white social worker Margaret Lewin and her suburban family. Under the Lewins' care, Isaiah grows strong and healthy. But when a drug-free Khaila learns her baby's alive, she'll do everything in her power to get him back.

    A movie I recommend to everyone and anyone to enjoy.

    Created: 19/07/08
    I liked this drama movie alot mostly because it doesn't have the kind of ending you think it may have before you watch it and alot of movies don't put it all out there in detail but this movie does it deals with sex,adultery,race,religion,dru​gs,& death.I think Halle Berry played this part very well,maybe even her best performance I've ever saw her portray.Jessica Lange was a great actress in this movie,she made everything so very believable and showed how strong a mother's love for her child can be,even if that child isn't her biological child,or even her own same race!

    ive bought the video for an ex acquaintance of mine. she loves the movie. shes a halle berry fan. she love michell pfieffer(sp?) as well. since my ex was a ex drug addict, she can relate to the movie's plot(although she didnt give up her children for adoption as portrayed in the movie). she has been looking for this movie since she first seen it, and i wanted to surprise her for a housewarming gift.

    It is a great movie. Very touching and moving. It is realistic and a movie about true day to day life and what happens when drugs are part of the proble. Halle Berry is an exceptional actress.

    sad movie

    Created: 07/06/08
    Really sad movie but great to remember what is really improtant to you in life. The dvd and the case where just as the detailed discription said and the memories it has helped create will last a life time. The cost was great for the value and the time it took to get it was close to nothing.

    I was happy to see this DVD on Ebay. It is a sad but happy story. Loving this little baby finally brings two women together and they learn that they can both love and help him grow.
