Description

In pre-Civil War New Orleans high society, Vanessa Williams portrays the beautiful African American daughter of a wealthy white plantation owner and his kept mistress. Fighting her family's wishes, society’s rules and rampant racism, she rejects the traditions of an arranged marriage and sets out on a journey fraught with danger and forbidden desires. This inspiring true story of heroism and love illuminates the extraordinary life of Henriette Dalille, the first African-American saint.

    An okay rental for a boring Sunday afternoon. Acting wasn't very good, but a film worth watching.

    A decent story about life in New Orleans in 19th century America. Plays like a made for TV movie, but Vanessa Williams is stunning and beautiful. Acting is average, and the "french" accents are laughable, yet this movie was enjoyable and worth watching.
