Where The Lilies Bloom
$9.99 1974 DVD Movie

A heartwarming tale of resilience, family loyalty, and a young girl's fight to keep her siblings together against all odds.

Where the Lilies Bloom is a charming and deeply moving story of survival, resilience, and the quiet strength of a young girl determined to hold her family together against impossible odds. Set in the beautiful but unforgiving mountains of North Carolina, the Luther family are poor sharecroppers struggling to make ends meet. When their ailing father Roy (Rance Howard) realizes his time is near, he entrusts his strong-willed daughter Mary Call (Julie Gholson) with a secret and a solemn promise: keep his death hidden to avoid the state separating the children into foster care—and never let the eldest daughter, Devola, marry the eccentric but persistent landlord, Kiser Pease (Harry Dean Stanton).

With wisdom beyond her years, Mary leads her siblings in a courageous battle for independence. They bury their father in secret, keep up appearances, and live off the land—gathering roots and herbs to sell for medicine. As Mary fights to preserve her family's dignity and home, she also discovers her own voice through writing, encouraged by a teacher who sees her potential. But when a ruthless relative threatens to evict them, Mary must choose between sacrifice and survival, love and loyalty.

Filled with wit, warmth, and raw emotional depth, Where the Lilies Bloom is a rare and unforgettable film about family bonds, quiet courage, and the enduring power of love. This inspiring, family-friendly classic is now available on DVD—a treasured tale you'll want to watch again and again.
