While watching the news, Kaylee Carter learns of an Ohio woman Sofia Donatelli who recently won the lottery, but years ago gave up her daughter for adoption. Though the odds are slight, Kaylee believes she might just be that child and may have found what she always wanted to feel: that she belongs somewhere. Accompanied by her six years old son, Kaylee leaves Florida to meet Sofia. However, in Ohio Sofia's stepson Tony believes that no one in their right mind travels well over a thousand miles on what seems a hunch; he assumes Kaylee is a con artist out to steal from his beloved stepmom as the vultures have begun arriving. Still he also admits he is attracted to Kaylee who knows she is falling in love with him, but to persuade him that her quest is love not money seems impossible. Though the audience will share Tony's skepticism that a logical person does not make such a trek without more information, fans will enjoy this fine contemporary romance because they also hope that Kaylee finds what she seeks, belonging to a loving family. The lead couple is a charming pair as he cannot believe that he loves a con artist and she fears that the man she treasures will reject her because he cynically presumes the worst. A MILLION TO ONE is a fine tale of a woman seeking love in the right place. Harriet Klausner
