Storyline
| Plot Summary |
As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah-unscripted-collapses in front of the stunned audience. After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted ... after a failed abortion attempt. Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her long-time friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past ... and find hope for her unknown future. In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah learns that every life is beautiful. Written by Jon Erwin |

| Quotes |
Hannah:
I feel dead inside. Hannah: No something worse than death. Hannah: I am still a child, a child trying to find a place on this world. Hannah: I have so many unanswered questions, questions I feel but can't even begin to speak because there are no words to express them. Hannah: Something is missing. Hannah: Why do I feel unwanted? Hannah: Why do I feel I have no right to exist? Hannah: Why do I spend more time wanting to end my life than live it? See more » |
