Description

During World War II, a young girl takes on new responsibilities when her father is called to the frontlines. As she navigates her role as "man of the house," Ann Fay Honeycutt faces a new challenge: the 1944 polio epidemic that's sweeping through her community.

The town of Hickory, North Carolina responds quickly to the crisis, creating an emergency hospital in just three days. But for Ann Fay, the reality of the epidemic is all too real as she witnesses its devastating impact on local children and their families. As she struggles to cope with the challenges ahead, Ann Fay discovers the healing power of friendship and her own faithfulness.

Based on a remarkable true story from Hickory's history, Blue is a heartwarming and inspiring tale of resilience and hope in the face of tragedy.
