It is an amazing Christian story of a young girl who has a desire that is causing her to slowly lose her brain cells, which leads to a young death. This girl knew her fate but walked with God the whole way, and trusted in him. Appropriate for all ages.

This is by far the saddest movie I have ever watched, and one of the most touching. Kennedy Hansen has always thought she was just a regular girl. Driving her mother's car at age 5, being obsessed with boys and cheerleading. But it turns out, everything is not what it seems. Kennedy falls at school, and has to go to the hospital, where it is discovered, she has a problem with her eyes. Kennedy is taken from clinic to clinic in search of a cure, without success. Finally, someone knows what's happening. Kennedy has Batten's disease, a rare sickness without any known cure. Kennedy pushes forward believing in God, and that she can survive. Then, the unthinkable happens. Kennedy loses her speech and eyesight completely, and finally begins to fade away. No one can believe that someone so full of life and love has to finally go. Kennedy has filled her life with beauty, and love, and has made her sixteen years the best years of her family's life. I loved this movie, because it was so full of emotion, and because it really shows the struggle of day to day life for someone with Batten's disease. I recommend this movie to anyone, and everyone. It will touch your heart.
