Reviving Ophelia

Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) and Kim Dickens (The Blind Side) star in the Lifetime Original Movie Reviving Ophelia. Inspired by the best-selling book by Dr. Mary Pipher, the movie tells the story of two mothers facing the difficulties of raising their teen daughters - one struggling with dating abuse and the other acting out with rebellious behavior. Marie's (Kaczmarek) 17-year-old Elizabeth (Rebecca Williams) has the picture perfect life, with a seemingly equally wonderful boyfriend. Meanwhile, Le Ann (Dickens) is raising 16 year old Kelli (Carleigh Beverly) as a single parent and finds it difficult to relate to the pressures her daughter is facing with boys, friends and school. When Kelli starts to suspect Elizabeth may be abused by her boyfriend (Nick Thurston), no one will believe her. Marie and Le Ann have always leaned on one another through life's challenges, but discover they need each other more than ever as they navigate the complexities of understanding and raising their daughters.
