Director Jon Gunn’s biopic draws on the 1990s true story of hairdresser Sharon Stevens from Louisville, Kentucky. In the film, Stevens crowdsources help for widower Ed Schmitt, struggling to raise his daughters, Ashley and Michelle, after his wife Theresa’s premature death from a terminal illness. Stevens helps 5-year-old Michelle, who, without a timely 600-mile airlift to Omaha for a liver transplant amid a catastrophic snowstorm, wouldn’t have gone on to live a fulfilled life for nearly three decades.
