Pictures of Hollis Woods

Abandoned as a baby, 12-year-old Hollis Woods (Jodelle Ferland) has been in more foster homes than she cares to remember, but the social worker in charge of her placement, Edna Reilly (Alfre Woodard) is patient and persistent and finally places Hollis with Josie Cahill (Sissy Spacek), a retired teacher who shares Hollis’ passion for art.

But when Josie begins exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s Disease, Hollis fears her days with Josie may be numbered.

From Hallmark Hall of Fame.
