Rueben's Ramblings

The Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Away & Back will debut on January 25 at 8 PM on the Hallmark Channel.

When a family of swans make their home on the Peterson farm, it is love at first sight for 10-year-old daughter Frankie. But along comes no-nonsense ornithologist Ginny Newsom (Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights), who rushes in to “save” the majestic birds. For Frankie’s dad Jack (Jason Lee from My Name Is Earl), it is dislike at first sight when he encounters pushy, know-it-all Ginny. Frankie and her brothers are anything but neutral observers as they watch the initial hostility between their widowed father and the strong-willed Ginny transform into something else.

Here is a trailer for Away & Back:
