Bless the Child

Maggie O'Connor (Kim Basinger) is an ordinary single woman whose life is turned upside down by the sudden appearance of her long-lost sister Jenna, a drug addict who drops off her newborn daughter and disappears again.

That special star that was around when Jesus was born was around on December 16 for one family. Cody, the little girl in the movie, was born on this fateful day and was set apart and different.
