Gracie Thompson hasn't been so much brought up as dragged through life by her manipulative, drug-addled mother. Missing meals, dodging cops and landlords, changing schools the way most kids change socks, Gracie and her sister and brothers, each the product of a different dead-beat dad, seem to have hit the skids. Then Gracie makes a choice to get a job, succeed in school, find stability. And her choice isn't just for herself. At the age of 17, she decides to be the mother, emotionally and legally, her siblings never had. Inspired by a true story and powered by remarkable performances - Kristen Bell (TV's Veronica Mars) as the determined Gracie, Anne Heche in an Emmy-nominated performance as her nightmarish mother - Gracie's Choice champions the magic of love in even the most desperate circumstances. Meet Gracie. And share the magic.
