"Olivia Twist" is a story of a young girl abandoned by both birth parents, left to be raised in the loving care of her paternal grandmother. Their relationship is a glorious one: happy, loving, kind, and caring until her "Mom" dies the day before the child''s 11th birthday. She is then forced to move in with her biological father and his already established "second family." Trials and tribulations abound and, three years later, the young girl decides to emancipate herself from her ugly homelife. It''s a story about the system - what it does and doesn''t do for our children - it''s a Cinderella story that a Disney film will never show you. It''s also about a child who learns to empower herself because she knows that there IS a better life out there, and, it''s a heartbreaker and an eye-opener to watch her continuing and tenacious search to find it.
