Good Heavens
Esmeralda, a feisty Southern widow content with her quiet small-town life, unexpectedly volunteers to become a housemother at a halfway house for female addicts in the mountains. Out of her comfort zone, she must learn to connect with women whose experiences are vastly different from her own. As she clashes with the center's skeptical director, Esmeralda questions if she can truly love the residents and make a difference, or if she should return to her familiar home.
