Best known as Monica in the long-running television series Touched by an Angel, Derry-born Roma Downey must have needed the patience of a saint to cope with the melodramatic demands made on her in this tear-jerking TV movie. Also known as A Secret Life, it's the kind of film they'd once have made with, say, Jane Wyman as the wife who discovers her husband has a mistress after he's been injured in a plane crash and Margaret O'Brien as the love child from that illicit union. Downey and Kristina Malota do well enough in the roles, but this is pretty heavy going.

Cassie's husband was just involved in a plane crash and is in a coma. The airline says his wife was killed in the accident. The two have a young daughter together. Cassie must decide if she can accept David's child by another woman.
