From the director of Driving Miss Daisy comes this compelling, heartwarming and inspiring true story of a father (Pierce Brosnan) who faces impossible odds to keep his family together. Times are tough in Dublin, Ireland. But no one has it tougher than Desmond Doyle when his wife runs off and his beloved daughter Evelyn and two young sons are sent to an orphanage by the government.Enlisting the help of loyal friends (Julianna Margulies, Stephen Rea) and a feisty American lawyer (Aidan Quinn), he takes his case to Ireland's Supreme Court in a history-making quest to topple an ironclad law and win back the custody of his children!With a gent! le tug at the heartstrings, Evelyn tells the true story of an imperfect father whose devotion brought much-needed change to rigid Irish law. It's a labor of love for star and coproducer Pierce Brosnan, who brings just the right touch of Everyman charm to his role as Desmond Doyle, a struggling Dublin tradesman, father of three, and chronic pub-crawler whose wife abandons their family the day after Christmas, 1953. Desmond's a loving father who's boyishly irresponsible; Irish law dictates the removal of his children to stern Catholic orphanages, and his battle for custody is aided by two lawyers (Stephen Rea, Aidan Quinn) who seize this opportunity to revolutionize the courts. With straightforward, unobtrusive style, director Bruce Beresford draws fine performances from Brosnan, Julianna Margulies (as a barmaid who inspires Desmond's sobriety), and especially young Sophie Vavasseur in the title role as Desmond's bright, determined daughter. Sentimental without being s! accharine, Evelyn is simple, well made, and bursting wi! th genui ne Irish spirit. --Jeff ShannonAfter a long day handling thorny situations, the hand therapy is just the help you need. As with other Crabtree & Evelyn products, the hand therapy is formulated to transform the ordinary rituals of daily life into extraordinarily pleasurable experiences. Our inspirational model is the early home apothecary, or "still room" as it was called in England. Still rooms existed in a time when the garden played an integral role in daily life - a time when fresh flowers, herbs and fruits from gardens and orchards were distilled to create fragrant waters for the bath and soothing essences for the skin. From the magic of this room came the little luxuries and necessities that enhanced the quality of everyday life. It is this unique relationship to the garden and nature that Crabtree & Evelyn diligently seeks to preserve while making use of emerging technologies to produce the purest and most effective products possible.You've watched your fav! orite gardeners spend hours lovingly pampering their plants, doting all weekend over tulips or carrots or tomatoes, but when was the last time they doted on themselves?
