· Harry Connick Jr. as Justin Matisse
Birdee Calvert (Sandra Bullock) seems to have it all. She's been married
for years to her handsome high school sweetheart Bill (Michael Pare), and has a brilliant
and sensitive child. But when her picture perfect life comes crashing down around her,
Birdee must start over. With no place to turn, the former beauty queen, along with her
daughter Bernice (Mae Whitman), heads back home...to Smithville, Texas.
There Birdee's life becomes even more complicated as she tries to deal with a mother
(Gena Rowlands) she must get to really know for the first time, a daughter who desperately
misses her father, and the prospect of a new romance with an old schoolmate, Justin Matisse
(Harry Connick Jr.). But as Birdee undertakes her emotionally-charged journey, she begins
to find the strength to reclaim her life, rediscover her family, and return to something
she had almost given up on...hope.
