Description

Not long after Hannah, a college student, experiences increasing anxiety and a sudden collapse, all signs point to the surprising circumstances of her birth. Hannah soon learns from her parents that she was adopted and is the survivor of a failed abortion attempt.

Bewildered, angry, and confused, she turns to her oldest friend, Jason, for support. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his friends on a road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past and find hope for the unknown future.

Along the way, Hannah finds that every life is beautiful, and that life itself can be so much more than what we might have planned.

Based on the popular movie of the same name, October Baby brings to life powerful themes of hope, love, forgiveness, and redemption.

Acclaim for the film October Baby:

“A great film with a great message!” —Alex Kendrick, director of Courageous, coauthor of The Love Dare

“I am now an October Baby activist.” —Mark Hall, lead singer of Casting Crowns

“Hannah’s journey to find answers and embrace her identity leads her to hope, acceptance, and love—and leaves us celebrating life.” — Bill Blacquiere, president of Bethany Christian Services
