Hallmark Hall of Fame, theiDVD Series

A locket is more than a keepsake. It holds secrets close to the heart.

Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave stars as Esther, a wise woman who teaches a troubled young man the power of love. Michael Keddington (Chad Willett) has had more than his share of tough breaks. Just when he's about to turn his life around, he could lose the love of his life, Faye, who is about to head across the country to medical school. It's then that Michael meets the prickly but deeply caring Esther where he works. The two slowly earn each other's friendship and trust. By sharing with Michael her own story of lost love, Esther teaches her young friend an invaluable lesson about not giving up easily in the quest for true love. When a scandal threatens Michael's future, Esther's support gives him the confidence to pull through. The gift of Esther's locket, once a reminder of a youthful misfortune, becomes Michael's symbol for renewed love...and a second chance.
