Those who have read Beverly Lewis's novel The Redemption of Sarah Cain need not have any trepidation about slight plot changes from the print version, as the movie is an entirely different experience. Directed by Michael Landon, Jr. and with a screenplay by Brian Bird (Touched by an Angel) and Cindy Kelley, any deviations from the novel in making Saving Sarah Cain were good ones...While Lisa Pepper's performance as Sarah lacked emotion at times, Abigail Mason and the other children were true stars in this film. The ever-graceful Tess Harper makes a brief appearance as the orphans' Amish alternative guardian, but the award for best actress belongs to little Bailee Madison, who gave a spunky, endearing performance as the "baby" of the mismatched family. When Madison flashes a smile and delivers even simple lines like "God be with you," you get that warm and fuzzy Tiny Tim feeling...But the main reason this film is worth watching is for what it's not. It's not offensive, preachy or over-the-top, and it's not a story that has been told a dozen times and in a dozen different ways. As one character says, "Five 19th century kids in the big city with a 21st century single woman. You couldn't ask for a better premise than that." - Bethel Swift
