The Kudzu Christmas (2002)
Recently divorced Nina Taylorson (Wilson) and her young son Mason move to a small Georgia town to start a new life. Mason befriends Gaitus Stevens (Lawhorn), a lonely recently widowed older gentleman, and together they attempt to save several abandoned puppies hiding in the thick Kudzu bush. Their love, faith and determination help them cope with loss and separation and realize the blessings they share during the holiday season.
