Synopsis

Adapted from the book by Earl Hamner Jr. (which was later adapted into the television show The Waltons), the story follows the Spencer family, living at the foot of a Virginia mountain, in the time of the Great Depression.

With his father having to take the only available job a long way from home. Clay-Boy is stuck with unusual responsibility for his brothers and sisters, while he deals with the gap between what he believes is expected of him and the future of which he dreams.

On Christmas Eve, in the midst of a worsening blizzard, Clay-Boy and his family are increasingly worried because his father is long overdue in getting home. At last Clay-Boy sets out in search of his father, and along the way he comes to understand a little better the man he believes doesn’t really understand him. The climactic ending reveals the understanding and strength of a loving family.
