Released on August 5, 2008
The journey of a lifetime for young Lily Strickland begins not out of her love for adventure but out of heartache. Longing for the father she lost to the ocean and having no way to say goodbye, Lily strikes out on her own beginning a journey of the spirit and of the heart.
Her mother has found a new man to share her life with and Lily is the bearer of unpleasant secrets in his life which only she knows. Leaving behind a safe, loving environment with her grandparents (Diane Ladd and Lee Majors) and loving mother (Amy Redford), she faces not only her fears but the obstacles the wilderness presents.
With her faith and belief that her father will guide her, she sets out with her trusty dog. With the help of a friendly tugboat captain (Bernie Casey), she follows her dream to find the ocean and to finally set her heart at peace.

Thank you for adding me to your list of friends. I really appreciate it. You have good reason to feel accomplished, as your status today says. Amazing what you have accomplished.
My current project is something a little different, a fiction novel with 12-song CD soundtrack due to be released this fall. The soundtrack isn't just sounds but are actual songs (like in your movie), I have written, performed, and co-produced. Five of the songs are showcased on my profile page.
Wishing you continued success and a wonderful creative week.
