starring Deborah Raffin Diane Lane
When Lena Canada joins the staff at Brown House, a home for handicapped children, she is immediately drawn to the enigmatic Karen - a seriously-ill 15-year-old who refuses to respond or communicate. Lena's concern and dedication finally breaks through when Karen admits to her most personal secret - an obsession with Elvis Presley. Convinced it will aid her therapy, Karen helps the young girl to write to her idol, but the weeks pass and there is no reply ... This touching true story 'is a deeply moving experience that lifts the heart with humour, honesty and integrity.'
