"My life is SO over!" moans 16-year-old Jamie. Her parents have decided that the family should move to a bigger house in a better neighborhood-and Jamie hates the idea of leaving her friends and school.

Also quietly unhappy is Rosa, Jamie's grandmother. The move will end her years of living in the house where she and her now-departed husband Pedro raised their family. Rosa must also say good-bye to her beloved garden and her role as "The Eggplant Lady," cooking her specialty - eggplant parmigiana - for the homeless who gather for meals in the church soup kitchen.

How Rosa and Jamie come together to face a situation neither one can control creates a moving story. In her own way, Rosa teaches Jamie the valuable lesson of Christ's suffering in the Garden of Gethsemani: "When something bad happens that I can't change or can't even understand, I just try to remember that everything-and all of us- are part of God's plan."

The Eggplant Lady, featuring a recipe with a secret ingredient, tears and laughter, faith and family, will inspire and touch viewers of all ages.
