Heartbreaking and Heartwarming story

Wish you well. Always happy to watch a movie with Ellyn Burstyn. She plays the quintessential kindly, wise grandmother and a strong, smart woman, leaving an amazing legacy. The actors were well cast, stellar cinematography showcasing Virginia's glorious fall colors, and overall quality of this film and story is well done.

FYI, David Baldacci, the author, started the 'Wish You Well Foundation' to help fight illiteracy, hunger and make the world a better place.

I am surprised that no one has pointed out the unscrupulousness, dishonesty, greed and corruption on the part of the the coal company way back in the 1940s, and the pain and disharmony it caused in the community. It wasn't the first murder cover-up by big oil and it sure won't be the last. To me, that stands out as a main point to this story.

A deeper lesson to be learned...
