Featured review
The movie is listed as factual but is only partially factual. The main character Jewel went by Myrtis as it is her 1st name and Jewel is her middle name. The part about them moving from Mississippi to California is true she did this and the majority of the family moved with them. The character Brenda Kay did not go by that name she was just Brenda and Kay is actually a granddaughter of the main character. Can't remember if they show it in the movie or not but within seconds of meeting Brenda she would tell you you were fat even if you were not. It was almost like her term of affection. The character Raylene (also not her real name) in the movie tries to kill herself. The actual person never attempted suicide and her name was not used because she would not sign the release after reading that.It is a very touching story to see what she sacrificed for her daughter at the time and continued to all for Brenda throughout her life.
