Reviews for The Blessing

[junipersun · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A rags-to-riches drama. Poor widowed single mom provides a room for a man who was finagled into doing child care for her by his brother. Of course she can't be told how wealthy he is or she would stand on her pride. Overly materialistic story, Devereux couldn't just have him buy a few toys or clothes for the kid, he's got to buy the whole store.
