blurb: Hannah is 15 years old and is the daughter of Jack and Carol Roberts, who are both politicians and seem to make their work a higher priority than spending time with their only daughter. They break the news to Hannah that they won't be coming home for Christmas. Hannah is crushed....she's been really lonely. Carol decides it's time to finally tell Hannah that Mike isn't her real father; that she left Hannah's real father, Mike, when Hannah was 4 years old, because she felt that she was too grown up for him. Now, Mike was an officer in the Army. He was sent on a mission and almost died. Hannah recorded a message that would air on the country music video channel. And it was by pure luck that Mike happened to see it. In the meantime, Hannah was able to find out where Mike was stationed and get ahold of him. They were reunited at last.
personal thoughts/opinions: I didn't care for Hannah's mom and her husband at all. I thought they had their priorities all wrong. Other than that it was the perfect feel-good story.
