And the screen is filled with spectacular visuals using twenty actors and dancers and one of the largest LED screens in the country. The music is powerful under the direction of multiple Grammy nominated Dan Posthuma and songwriter Wally Nason.

While the story is dramatic, writer Martha Bolton sprinkles in humor, mostly from award - win ning comedian Chonda Pierce as the maid and internationally renowned British comedian Colin Alexander as the English Butler. Three-time Emmy and two-time Golden Globe nominee Sherry Stringfield ('ER') and Katie Leclerc ('Switched at Birth') star in the World Premiere of 'Beverly. Standing between her is her gold - digging hu sband Dylan (played by John Schneider), who is plotting to claim the fortune for himself with the help of a hired imposter pretending to be the long - lost daughter. Meanwhile, the woman, Laura Mayfield, heir to a vast fortune and on her death bed, is searching for her lost daughter to bequest her the estate.

SUMMARY: Based on the novel by New York Times best-selling author Beverly Lewis, 'The Confession' is the continuing story of Katie Lapp. This comes as bad news to Laura’s leech of a husband, Dylan (Adrian Paul), who needs his wife’s money to finance his gambling habit. Now out in the modern world, she seeks to reconnect with her birth mother, Laura (Stringfield), a wealthy socialite who early on is presented with a fatal cancer diagnosis. Leclerc plays Katie, who was “shunned” by the Amish community that raised her in the first film. It’s also enough of a stand-alone story one needn’t have thrilled to part one to join the buggy ride. To the rest of the world, this Hallmark Channel movie derived from the second of Lewis’ “The Heritage of Lancaster County” books is distinguished by possessing slightly more edge than the network’s standard fare, and a solid tandem in Katie Leclerc (“Switched at Birth”) and Sherry Stringfield (was “ER” really that long ago?) as its leads. Three-time Emmy® and two-time Golden Globe® nominee Sherry Stringfield ('ER') and Katie Leclerc ('Switched at Birth') star in the World Premiere of 'Beverly. For the hardy few to whom “Beverly Lewis’ The Confession” really is the much-anticipated sequel to “The Shunning,” its arrival is no doubt good news.
