Pleasant watching.
As a girl of 9 Katharine lost her mother and, not sure how to care for her and provide for her at the same time, her father sent her to live with relatives she didn't know. He never came back for her or contacted her and she felt abandon.
Flash forward to Katharine as a high-powered editor of "Perfect" magazine, helping people achieve a perfect life. She is engaged to her extremely rich and successful publisher and is planning her wedding by bluetooth while simultaneously holding staff meetings. Did I mention that her publisher has children older than Katharine?
In the midst of all this a package arrives at her office. Thinking it is a wedding gift, she instructs her assistant to open it. He hands the envelope inside to her and proceeds to remove what he thinks is a music box. Katharine reads the letter and learns that the box contains her father's ashes and his last wish was to have her go to the old hometown and spread his ashes as they had her mother's and have his...
Above average TV movie
"Melrose Place" bad girl, Laura Leighton is cast against type as she portrays a New York magazine editor who must leave her busy job and frantic wedding planning behind so she can spread her estranged father's ashes in her tiny New England hometown. Once there, she renews old acquaintances, develops an attraction to a handsome local attorney (portrayed by Sebastian Spence), and begins to discover father she never really knew.
This is a Hallmark Channel movie and is a bit schmaltzy, but at the same time it's a refreshing story of love and self-renewal. It's nice to see another side to Leighton for a change.
