“When life fell apart, love fell into place.”

Hope Floats (1998) charts Birdee Pruitt's return to her Texas hometown after her husband's infidelity is exposed on live television. Amid petty glee from old acquaintances, Birdee rebuilds her life with the support of her daughter Bernice and a budding romance with Justin. The film navigates the complexities of small-town gossip and redemption through quiet, unassuming grace.
