Product Description

When Eliza's father-in-law dies suddenly during the Depression, she is left with two young children, an unharvested orange crop on a heavily mortgaged farm, and no money. Bible-quoting Aunt Batty urges her to have faith. Gabe Harper, a wandering veteran with wonderful manners and an air of mystery, is willing to help with the harvest, but the mortgage payment is due in less than 30 days. As the family fights to complete the harvest in time to make the mortgage payment, Eliza and Aunt Batty discover that Gabe is a writer, and Gabe and Eliza fall in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars "There's An Angel Behind Every Blade Of Grass", December 17, 2006

By	Brian E. Erland "Rainbow Sphinx" (Brea, CA - USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

While `Hidden Places' ('06) isn't a Hallmark Production it certainly has the feel of one; strong production values, endearing cast, simple straightforward plot and a happy ending designed to warm the heart of the most jaded amongst us.

The lovely Sydney Penny is absolutely fantastic as Eliza and Jason Gedrick delivers a strong but subdued performance as the new man in her life. They work quite well together and it is their chemistry that raises this film to another level. The supporting cast is also first rate, adding lots of personality and texture to the story. I'm sure you'll recognize a number of them; Shirley Jones, Barry Corbin and Tom Bosley lead the list.

The story is good, old fashioned drama/romance emphasizing the importance of faith, family, and community. If you enjoy wholesome, family-oriented entertainment similar to "Little House On The Prarie" you'll love this one. Gather the family together and get the popcorn!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hidden Gem, November 19, 2006

By	A. Ryan (Spokane, WA. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is a gem. Sydney Penny is perfect in this lovely story as a young, beautiful widow with two children who has her faith tested when everything seems to go wrong in her life. There is something about Penny's performance that is subtle yet strong, as well as delicate but very moving. And of course she is such a natural beauty that all those qualities become even more appealing. And Jason Gedrick also does a fine job as the mysterious war veteran with the goood manners and kind ways that draws Penny into a sweet relationship with this gentle but strong man. Throw in the great Shirley Jones as the ever prodding and full-of-faith Aunt Batty, and you have a wonderful story and beautifully produced film that tugs at the heart and delivers such a heart-warming finish that you will want to play this one over again, and again. It is a little "jewel", just like the lead actress, Sydney Penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars hidden places, March 17, 2007

By	Allan C. Dennis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hidden places has to be one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It is so good to watch a movie that has no bad language or violence or bad morals in it, and still has a story line that keeps you interested all the way through from the beginning to the end. This is a story of hardluck to romance, and I loved every minute.
