The Shunning DVD Review and GIVE AWAY!

My girls have been talking about this movie for a while now.  They saw it when they were at my mother's house and I have been aching to see it.  I guess I got my chance! lol

When we sat down to watch this movie I wasn't sure what to expect.  I was pretty sure to expect some tears but not the frustration I felt.  The tears came because it is a well done story/movie and I cared about the characters.  The frustration came because of the ending.  I won't tell you what happens, you will just have to watch it for yourself.  :-D 

I do recommend this movie, even with my frustration!  It opened up some dialogue with the girls and was eye opening to understand others' beliefs and ways of doing things.  I know this is one that will be pulled out again and again.

If you want to get your hands on a copy of this movie, you are in luck.  I have one to GIVE AWAY!  Yup, that's right.  To enter tell me your favorite author and leave an email addy.  I will draw a winner on Sept. 23rd.
