Crossed Over (2002)

In Crossed Over, a poignant adaptation of Beverly Lowry's book, A Murder/A Memoir, the story of a heartbroken mother's journey to rediscovery unfolds. Beverly Lowry, shattered by the cruel twist of fate that snatched her teenage son away in a tragic hit-and-run, plunges into a crippling depression. As she and her steadfast husband grapple with this devastating blow, their marriage teeters on the brink of collapse. In this abyss of despair, a glimmer of hope emerges when Lowry forms an extraordinary bond with Karla Faye Tucker—the first and only woman to face execution on Texas's death row. This unlikely friendship, while straining her marital ties, becomes Lowry's lifeline, guiding her through the maze of unresolved personal issues. Crossed Over beautifully encapsulates Lowry's journey, as she navigates the treacherous currents of loss and grief, to finally reclaim the sweetness of existence and the warmth of her marriage. It's a tale of resilience, friendship, and the indomitable human spirit's ability to heal and find joy amidst life's harshest trials.
