Homecoming (1996)
Find it through your preferred media outlet. (YouTube, etc.)

I vividly remember this movie back when I was a kid. It was randomly playing on Lifetime Channel and it made me cry so hard. Adapted from Cynthia Voigt’s book Homecoming, this TV movie starring Anne Bancroft is a combination The Box Car Children meets The Miracle Worker and dare I say How The Grinch Stole Christmas? The lesson is as old as time: you can come home again. But the bigger picture lesson is that kindness can break a curse, if kindness goes both ways.
