Synopsis | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
During a transatlantic voyage, a shy 11-year-old, Dorothy Quick (Amy Stewart), is thrilled to meet Mark Twain, the man she most admires in all the world. Soon a bond is formed that is destined to change both their lives. His wit and humor become an inspiration to Dorothy, who gains newfound confidence and independence. Twain, in turn, is blessed with a kinship he had never known with his own daughters during their childhood, which is still a source of regret for his spinster daughter Jean (Talia Shire, Oscar® nominee for The Godfather and Rocly). Based on true events, this often humorous, always heartwarming film is a tribute to family and friendship that will stay in your heart forever! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
