Is this based on a novel? If so, what is the title and author. If not, it would make a great novel.
shareI'm not sure but I don't think so... the opening & closing credits only said "based on a true story of friendship" or something like that. I'd imagine that if it were based on a novel they'd surely have referenced it. If that's not the case I'd also like to know what novel/book the film was based on but sadly I don't believe that's the case =(
shareI searched a little bit and i can only found that it was a story written by Susan McMartin , and it is then made up as a movie.
shareIt seems to be based on the writer's life.

Thanks for sharing the links.
What a touching story, and a touching movie.
I think there is a picture of Susan and "Herman" (her Cook) on this page:

And the painting of her mother here:
