Nice story of faith, patience, perseverance, and most importantly, a never-ending trust in God, about a down and out Australian family who move from the riches of Australia to an empty house rental in Nashville because of some unpredictable bad luck for the music promoting father. Literally down to nothing, the family of five discover the singing talents of one of their very own daughters, who is able to hook up with a record company and turn things around for the family.
The movie is the true story of the discovery and emergence of popular Christian singer Rebecca St. James, which I knew going in. But I wasn't aware it was also the story of two of her brothers who went on to sing for another popular Christian group, "For King and Country".
My only beef with the movie is that, for some reason, they decided to portray everyone the family confronted between Australia and Nashville as unfriendly, arrogant stiffs. From airport security, to gate attendants to other promoters, all were very unpleasant. Not sure why, except to make the families plight as difficult as possible. I hope those people weren't that way in real life!
Anyhow, if you liked the movie "I Can Only Imagine" from a few years ago, you'll like this too. Very similar rags to riches story. And how God is faithful to those who believe in him with all of their heart.
