The Story
The Like
Dandelion Dust movie is a
compelling drama about a
young boy who lives an
idyllic life with his
adoptive parents on the
coast of Florida. It's a
postcard childhood until the
day they receive a
disturbing phone call: his
birth parents want Joey
back. A judge's decision
could tear him away from the
only home he's ever known.
One family is determined to
keep the son they love, the
other to begin a new life,
one they've always dreamed
of, and rise above the
challenges of alcoholism and
domestic abuse that have
plagued them. Joey's future
hangs in the balance as
issues of parenthood and
class warfare play out.
Someone must make the
bravest decision of their
life; sometimes the greatest
love is letting go.
