Primetime TV Book Reviews
This was a movie on the Hallmark Channel. Both are based
on the true story about a couple who get together after both of their
spouses die tragically of cancer. They merge their families, united in
their shared experiences. Then they start The New Day Foundation, which
helps other families who go through these similar experiences.
They als have a weekly talk radio show in Detroit.
It's a very interesting and uplifting book. If you are
religious or have gone through losing a family member, or if you simply
like inspirational stories, you'll probably enjoy this. My only
complaint is that there are many characters introduced, and it changes
voice often, so I got a little confused. But I do admit that it's not my
type of book, so I probably could have paid better attention. I usually
only read fiction, and I'm not spiritual at all. Check it out for
yourself!

and Real”
In the
emotional true story of an unexpected new beginning in the face of
unimaginable loss, Lacey Chabert (“Mean Girls,” “Party of Five”) and
Warren Christie (“Alphas,” “Happy Town”) star in the Hallmark Movie
Channel Original World Premiere “The Color of
Rain,” premiering Saturday, May 31 (9
p.m. ET/PT, 8C). Inspired by the true story of Gina
Kell and Michael Spehn and their 2011 New York Times bestselling
book, the film follows both families as they become one after cancer
tragically claims both Gina’s husband and Michael’s wife just six weeks
apart.
When young husband and father Matt Kell
succumbs to a terminal cancer diagnosis on Christmas day 2005, his
widow, Gina (Chabert) and two young boys are left to cope with the pain
of his loss while their close church community gathers around them for
support. In a gut-wrenching coincidence, just weeks after Matt’s death,
the Spehn’s mom, Cathy, is also suddenly taken by cancer, leaving her
distraught husband, Michael (Christie), to care for their three kids on
his own. Sensing the hopelessness in Michael she so recently saw in
herself, Gina reaches out to Michael and his kids and the two families
begin to forge an unlikely friendship. During the year that follows,
their lives become intertwined as they learn to lean on each other
during, at-times, insurmountable obstacles, tears and adversity. They
begin to heal with laughter, compassion and faith. And, when Gina and
Michael realize their newfound bond could be more than just friendship,
they struggle against surprising resistance from their families and
community to unite their two grieving families as one, and eventually
learn to open their hearts to love again.
