专门为电视制作的伦理亲情片，拍得十分温馨感人，在加拿大爱德华王子岛实地拍摄的优美风光亦令本片生色不少，故事描述少女珍史都华随母亲回娘家的华厦居住，但一干亲友都瞧不起她们母女。珍妮因而郁郁寡欢，直至认识流浪女孩乔蒂才有所改观。不久，父亲安卓来信要求珍回岛上和他生活，珍只好挥别母亲回到偏僻的灯笼山庄。当她获悉父亲仍深爱母亲。而姑姑却积极撮合父亲另娶时，珍决定追查父母分手的原因，并极力挽回他们的婚姻。少女演员玛丽恩贝内特和饰演父母的山姆华特森、柔伊．柯威尔都有甚佳演出。

Toronto, 1935. Wanneer de moeder van de twaalfjarige Bennett herstellende is van een ziekte, gaan beiden bij haar rijke, snobistische grootmoeder wonen. Bennett wordt naar een privéschool gestuurd, waar ze te horen krijgt dat haar vader, in tegenstelling tot wat haar moeder altijd beweerde, nog in leven is.

In 1935 Toronto, Jane Stuart's mother has taken ill, and the two of them have temporarily moved in with her rich, snobbish grandmother, where Jane is verbally abused and her mother bullied. Jane is forced into a private academy, in which the other girls tell her that her father, whom Jane believes to be dead, is actually alive. Soon after, Andrew Stuart sends word that he would like to meet his long-lost daughter, so Jane is sent by train to Bright River to stay with him, where she encounters an old mystery that she must help her father overcome, new friends, and the chance to bring her father and mother back together again.

La madre de Jane Stuart ha caído enferma, por lo que ambas deberán trasladarse temporalmente a vivir con su adinerada abuela, donde sufren sus insultos e intimidaciones. (FILMAFFINITY)
