A Child's Wish (1997)
Die Geschichte basiert lose auf dem Schicksal von Melissa Weaver, die im Alter von zehn Jahren an einer seltenen Krebsart erkrankte. Ihr Vater verliert seinen Arbeitsplatz, weil er sich in dieser schwierigen Zeit zu oft von der Arbeit freistellen lässt, um für seine Familie da zu sein. Wütend darüber beschließen Melissa und ihr Vater, für eine Gesetzesänderung zu kämpfen – jenes Gesetz, das seine Entlassung überhaupt erst ermöglicht hatte.
