Karen Kingsbury's Like Dandelion Dust, based on the best-selling novel, is a compelling drama that explores the different meanings of being a parent through the grittily realistic lives of the struggling, blue-collar Porter's, and the privileged Campbell family. Their lives intersect, intertwine and collide, all for the love of a little boy. This film is wonderfully acted, bravely exposing the humanity in each character and reminding us that we each have the potential to be the best and worst versions of ourselves at any time. Domestic and alcohol abuse affects families crossing generational and ethnic boundaries. The film hits a nerve with audiences.
