Synopsis

Forgiveness Girl

A little girl with cerebral palsy is relentlessly bullied throughout her life, yet finds it in her heart to forgive by seeking strength from a higher source above.

Holding the Man

Tim and John fell in love while teenagers at their all-boys high school. John was captain of the football team, Tim an aspiring actor playing a minor part in Romeo and Juliet. Their romance endured for 15 years in the face of everything life threw at it – the separations, the discrimination, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses – until the only problem that love can't solve tried to destroy them.
