Set in New York but filmed in Canada, this Hallmark movie doesn't quite follow the common Hallmark story arc. Some of it is silly in spots but overall it tells an interesting and entertaining story with good characters.
Emelia Bloom travels home for a reading of her latest novel and a book signing. Both her adult son, an artist, and her adult daughter, who owns a flower and plant shop, are surprised. She had been gone five years, right after their dad, her husband, died and the children had heard little to nothing from her.
So, much of the story is mom trying to reunite with her two adult children. Her son seems more willing, her daughter is really a hard case.
Melora Hardin, from here in Houston, is very good as the author and mom, Emilia Bloom. As a side note, way back when she was a teenager was chosen to play Jennifer, the girlfriend of Marty McFly in 'Back to the Future.' However, when Eric Stoltz was fired and very short Michael J Fox was brought in, she would have been too tall so she didn't get the role that went to Claudia Wells. Funny how random events can have such an influence.
Anyway my wife and I watched this movie at home, streaming on Amazon Prime, we enjoyed it.
