Fly Away Home

After her mother's sudden death, 13-year-old Amy moves to rural Canada to live with her estranged, eccentric father. She finds solace in a nest of abandoned goose eggs and becomes a surrogate mother to the hatchlings. As winter approaches, Amy and her father embark on an ambitious, heartwarming mission to teach the young geese to migrate south.
