20 years ago, a car crash left Hope Goodell (Annabeth Gish) with permanent brain damage. Hope's ultra-perfectionist mother Amanda (Lynn Redgrave) has since responded to the girl's handicap by virtually rejecting her, lavishing all her affection on Amanda's "normal" sister. Refusing to follow her mother's lead, the adult Hope intends to raise her own, healthy daughter with the unconditional love that has always been part and parcel of her personality. Made for cable, Different was first seen over the Lifetime channel on May 10, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
