Through many trials and tribulations, we managed to stay independent and create a family oriented movie with an original music sound track designed to be a light for people who are suffering in many ways through tough times. It's a story of overcoming adversity, rolling with the punches, and finding joy in THE JOURNEY along the ROCKY ROAD of life. It's my personal passion that it will inspire audiences to be resilient, forgiving and transformative.” says Stephanie Garvin.
