THE MIRACLE OF THE WIDOW has a very intriguing storyline. It clearly shows God’s Providence at work. The movie has deep emotional moments. The direction and acting are good.

More Detail:
THE MIRACLE OF THE WIDOW starts in Hungary in 1944. A Jewish man hides his family’s precious possessions from the approaching Nazis. After the war, his daughter retrieves the artifacts and takes them to America.
Cut to Grace Harrington graduating from college and heading to Portland, Oregon to establish herself as a teacher. Grace is rebelling against her family’s faith. She gets annoyed when another teacher takes a class of young students to a bakery, where they receive free bread with Bible verses on it. She complains about the Bible verses to everyone and eventually to the education department. This does not endear her to the school and is fired.
When Grace is completely down and out, she’s forced to take a job at this same bakery. The bakery is run by Ruth Zellor, who charges very low prices and seems to have a secret stash of flour because the flour never runs out. One customer notices pictures of some old pottery. Being an art collector, he realizes the pottery is worth quite a bit of money and comes from Ancient Israel. He goes so far as to plot to steal the pottery.
When Ruth takes sick, Grace has to run the bakery, and the question arrives whether Grace will inherit the blessing.
