Christa Polkinhorn
3.75/5 (73 ratings)
A man, a woman, and a child who struggle with a difficult past meet by chance in Zurich, Switzerland. In order to live a meaningful life, they need to harness the power of love and forgiveness.

Six-year-old Karla longs for her dead mother. Anna struggles with her former husband's deception, and Jonas, artist and teacher, mourns the death of his wife. While caring for and teaching Karla, who promises to be a talented painter, Anna and Jonas develop feelings for each other that go beyond friendship. The budding romance, however, hits a snag when Anna discovers a sinister secret in Jonas’s past. While the two adults have come to an impasse, young Karla takes matters into her own hands. Together with a friend, she develops a plan to bring the two uncooperative adults back together. The plan, however, creates havoc and as it begins to unravel, Karla is forced to learn some difficult lessons.

An Uncommon Family is a story about loss, lies, and betrayal but also about the healing power of love and forgiveness. It takes place in Switzerland, New York City, and Guadalajara, Mexico.
