Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Anna Quindlen's novel, One True Thing. Universal Pictures' One True Thing is the funny, tender and ultimately uplifting tale of a woman forced to enter her mother's and father's private world-only to find everything she thought she knew about her family, her past and even life itself about to be challenged. But it also becomes an unexpected battle for reconciliation and redemption - a search not only for the secret truth of her parents' lives but for the purpose of her own.

For ambitious New Yorker Ellen Gulden, the journey back to her quaint hometown in the midst of a crisis is all of those things. Few moments in life are as powerful, emotionally charged or rife with humor as returning home to visit your parents as an adult.
