Hope's Highway - Brossura

Margie Kinnard wants to go California to be a film star, and Ernie Harding volunteers to take her there. But instead, he steals the money she inherited from her grandmother. Now she must find another way to get to Movieland. Help comes from an unexpected source-her estranged father, Donald Kinnard. At a roadside camp, Margie and her father meet two other families heading west and join them. Ernie Harding appears and convinces the group that he should join them. The group also takes in rancher Brady Hoyt and his five-year-old niece. Then, one morning Margie wakes up to find that her father is dead. He seems to have passed away in his sleep, but Margie is convinced that Ernie killed him, although she has no proof. With her father gone, Ernie becomes aggressive in his pursuit of her, so Brady takes on the role of her protector. A quiet, efficient man, he has never been responsible for a child before, and he welcomes Margie's help and advice. Along the way to California, Ernie is charged with the murder of Margie's father-but did he actually do it? And Margie will find herself torn between her ambition and her love for Brady.
