If You Believe


Thirty-seven-year-old jaded book editor Susan Stone gets a kick in the pants when her fun, easygoing seven-year-old self shows up during the Chistmas season. Young Suzie says she’s merely Susan’s inner child, but we like to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she might be time traveling. —Michael Main
Let me say this slowly: I am you; you are me; we are us.
Young Hayden Panettiere (as Suzie) stands with a dog in front of a Christmas
                tree with images of herself and Ally Walker (as old Susan) above.
