A belief in "angels on earth," not to mention a belief in oneself, may enhance the enjoyment of this made-for-cable drama. Jaclyn Smith stars as Kay Woodbury, a tough, no-nonsense judge whose intractability in legal matters is intensified by a number of personal crises, including a bitter feud with her jurist father and her anguish over the recent remarriage of her ex-husband. Thus, Kay is no mood to play nice when teenager Sally Powell (Lyndsy Fonseca) is brought before her. Harboring an intense hatred for the father who apparently abandoned her, Sally is a seemingly incorrigible delinquent who has already "flunked out" in four foster homes. Figuring that she could no worse than anyone else, Kay takes Sally home on a trial basis. The girl proceeds to behave as atrociously as possible, but surprisingly Kay does not decide to write her off as a bad job, but instead concludes that what the girl needs is someone to trust and something to believe in. In this spirit, Kay locates Sally's birth father (C. Thomas Howell), and, upon being convinced that he was not motivated by selfishness when he dropped out of his daughter's life, secretly contrives for Sally and her dad to reconnect -- and in so doing Kay finds her own way toward forgiveness, not only of those whom she feels have wronged her, but also of herself. Ordinary Miracles made its Hallmark Channel debut on May 7, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jaclyn Smith, C. Thomas Howell, Corbin Bernsen, and newcomer Lyndsy Fonseca co-star in the Hallmark Hall of Fame telefilm Ordinary Miracles, a stirring family drama. Judge Kay Woodbury (Smith) encounters heartache in her off-the-bench time when her ex-husband suddenly remarries and her attorney father makes a professional move that destabilizes her career. But her life takes an unforeseen turn when she meets young Sally Powell (Fonseca) -- a reject from four foster homes headed straight for a correctional institute -- and Kay finds the courage to bring Sally into her life, heart, and home. A bond grows between the women -- until one day, when Kay makes a bold and risky move -- she locates Sally's estranged father, Jim (Howell), and hires him as a gardener, without revealing the father-daughter relationship to either. As she watches warmth and trust grow naturally between the two, the day fast approaches when the truth must come to light. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
