Synopsis

Based on the play by Jane Anderson. Desperately poor Wanda LeFauve and her unemployed husband Al live in a cramped trailer in Shreveport, Louisiana. Wanda, expecting a fifth child, answers the newspaper ad of Rachel and Richard Luckman, an affluent, infertile couple who want a baby. But what at first seemed like a relatively straightforward choice turns into a battle of wills, emotion and respect, and suddenly both sets of parents must face a difficult decision that will affect the rest of their lives.
