A touching story of a cranky woman who becomes the caretaker of her own grandchildren. Four orphaned children travel to the East coast to find their grandmother who still lives in the house their mother grew up in. After days of being cantankerous to the kids the woman finally accepts them as her own. Bancroft gives a wonderful performance as a woman who can change from solitary to the gift of extending love to others. The changes the children too experience from being lonely to having it all within reach is miraculous. All the memories of their mother come racing back once in the home. It is especially difficult for them since the mother has been diagnosed as catatonic and institutionalized. Grade C+
