We never stayed at the same place for long. We always moved around. Mostly motels. The last place we lived - the one we stayed the longest - was a trailer. He wouldn't let me go outside during the day; I just stayed in the room watching TV. I didn't go to school, I didn't know any kids my age. There was just daddy, her, and me. Pattie... she hit me. He locked me in the closet. At night, they put me outside on a long leash. I climbed up into a tree and slept. There were animals out there. It was dark... all the time. There was nobody to talk to, nobody to play with... Nobody came. It was just nobody but them. I was by myself. Sometimes - all the time in the beginning - I'd think about home, then I got so - when I thought about you, it made me mad. Daddy said you didn't want me, that you didn't care about me. But you did. I know you did!

When Andrew Came Home

&apos;After an abduction of five years, a mother must fight for the love of her son.......before she loses him forever&apos;

A beautifully told heartbreaking true story. With believable performances from all of the cast, the young Seth Adkins in the title role of Andrew was fantastic. He carried out even the most emotionally harrowing scenes with credibility and flair, making his character lovable despite his withdrawn and odd behaviour. You can feel all the characters&apos; pain and joy throughout and the film is not to be forgotten easily. It speaks to the heart, and will leave an impression behind.

This is a story of loving unconditionally, of never giving up on somebody, and believing the best of them. It is inspiring, and shows the strength of bond between a mother and her child.

This is a brilliant film to watch with your family, as it is suitable for most ages. I would recommend this highly.
