WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Cori Archer, the daughter of a Southern Baptist preacher, has a life perpetually in flux. When she receives an emergency phone call to return home to Florida and to her troubled family history, Cori finds herself at a crossroads. Upon her return, she learns that her father is deeply immersed in a battle with Alzheimer's. God's Daughter examines the relationships in Cori's life, and how her journey back to her childhood home enables her to begin her life again.

Written by Barton Bishop and directed by Alex Dmitriev, the cast features Peter Brouwer, Anne DuPont, Jim Ireland, and Susanne Marley.
