Where the Lilies Bloom (Blu-ray)

A young woman struggles to keep her family together against all the odds in this deeply felt drama from producer Robert B. Radnitz (Sounder) and director William A. Graham (Change of Habit). Based on the Newberry Award-winning book by Vera and Bill Cleaver, and adapted by Earl Hamner Jr. (TV’s The Waltons), Where the Lilies Bloom tells the story of Mary Call Luthor (Golden Globe nominee Julie Gholson), who lives happily with her father and three siblings in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Her idyllic childhood ends abruptly, however, when her father dies. Though she is the second eldest, responsible and resourceful Mary Call emerges as the head of the family, determined to do what she must to fulfill her deathbed promise to her father to keep the orphans together. As they fight to earn their living, the children discover that the greatest treasure they possess is their love and devotion to each other. Featuring music by country legend Earl Scruggs and co-starring Harry Dean Stanton (The Missouri Breaks), Jan Smithers (TV’s WKRP in Cincinnati) and Rance Howard (Huckleberry Finn), Where the Lilies Bloom is a beautifully told story for all ages.
