Bailee Madison on what audiences can expect: ''When I read the script, I just knew that when people were gonna - when they walk out of the theater, they were gonna feel God in them and they're gonna walk out with such faith and hope. Especially with families that are struggling with people with cancer; they can definitely relate to this film. And it's very, very nice to have true life words put into a script and have it on a screen.''
Maree Cheatham on her favorite line: ''The line of love in this film is prayer is nothing but just telling God what's in your heart and asking him to help you with it. My character says that to her grandson, Ben, who's having difficulty praying, and that's when I got it. Because then I realized that God is all around us and things show up.''
Robyn Lively on Maddy: ''Maddy is a person of faith but I think that she's become angry and discouraged, as I can only imagine and I can - I'm sure a lot of parents go through those kinds of struggles in their faith when they see their child fighting for lives, you know. I'm sure that anyone would feel that way. She gets angry and lashes out, but it's her son's faith and his letters to God that - and the faith of everyone around her I think - that bring her back to her beliefs in her faith.''
